Hi Ryan, I like the poem, but some of the lines can be shorted to better reflect the one it's associated with and it needs an ending.
-------------------------------------
Political unrest, and riots in our streets.
Circular wars, and scorched earth in the Middle East.
Mothers lying their babies to rest, while fathers are resting in another woman's sheets.
All the while, another child looses their life on the streets.
The media calls them "casualties of war".. To me more like casualties of greed.
Countless lives being lost over things we don't need.
See, what we NEED is an enlightened generation willing to plant a seed.
A seed that will grow in the mind of our youth, And come to fruition in the form of a society that knows only great love and truth.
Because what we have now, well, it doesn't work..
We are a pasteurized and preservative filled prepackaged generation.
Graciously provided by media sponsors and major corporations..
