Soul Mending

By Jacob Vollrath

 

 

 

Swirling twirling, tops of trees are turning spun cradles of rock-a-bye babies,

Screamin to the unheard as they sway unstable,

unable to steady their minds through turbulent times,

path ridden mines are shattering the minds of innocent youths lives,

who go through life like half torn fairy tales.

Their existance is lacking the happy ending

that could finally stitch up there soul mending.

The children now need are tending.

What they lack are good examples,

corrupt samples are ample.

As the the youth are left fatherless, motherless, jobless and, hopeless

and no one seems to give a fuck less.

All we seem to care about is our own success.

Our nation is failing because we fail to recognize that life is not a grade school test.

But instead a sacred quest to improve ourselves.

Now notice the plurality of the word.

Its not for oneself, but for ourselves

Yourself, myself, his self and herself, humanities self, the world's self.

God was no fool and karmas not a joke.

Serve those around you and happiness will surround you too.

Be the parent that you always wanted

the one that loved you, held you and disciplined you

taught you right from wrong

raised you to be strong

and showed you that you belong

be that friend you always wanted

that loyal partner who always stood by you,

who shared your woe's laughters and trials,

but wouldn't hesitate to slap you back into line when you crossed the line

and had your back when you needed a spine

just as gold will never lose its value

so the golden rule will always apply to you

This is a world we can create

this philosophy is still in date

has been taught by all the teachers who are great

and could improve the whole world's fate

and lesson the tensions of hate.
