just wanna share a poem a friend and I did for english week a couple of months ago. enjoy!:)


A Better World


I was going to school
With my hand on my mom’s
When I saw an old man
Asking a lady for alms.


I took out a quarter
And started to approach him.
My mom pulled me away
And said, “What are you doing?”


“You can save that up,
To buy a lot of toys.
You’ll have a lot of fun
Playing with the other boys.”


I looked up at her
And did what I was told.
The day was extremely hot
But inside, I felt cold.


Now thinking about this,
I wonder what the world’s become.

When words of selfishness
Come from your own mom.


I wonder what it will be like
To live in a perfect place.
Sharing found everywhere,
A smile seen on every face.


I want to speak to all the people
To tell them what is happening.
I may be just a little kid,
But I know what I am seeing.


This world needs compassion,
This world needs care.
Some people are scared to try
To them I say, “Dare!”


I see a dirty and polluted world
Of war and hatred here and there.
Where greed and badness lurks about
And people hardly ever share.


I see a place of suffering
Where people die of hunger.
A place that’s full of misery
Where pain and hurt linger.


This world is veiled by darkness
But there might be a cure.
If people learn about giving
We'll see a better future.


I believe it is very possible
To make this world a better place
We just have to work together
And fill our lives with love and grace.



please comment. tell me what you think.
