La Monde

(I found a poem I wrote senior year of High School. I did a couple revisions and I thought I'd share it on here! Its actually not bad... ^_^)

All the colors were green, brown, white and blue

There was freedom for all here

They lived both apart and together

There were many natural boundaries

Life was simple, primitive, seperate

Curiosity was soon developed

All that was needed was time

Boundaries broken, discovery soon

Cultures clashed, some disappeared, became one

Change was slow and yet forced for some

Created smoke, concrete, skyscrapers, cars

Technology, transporation, changed

Survival from education

Some receive all without trying

Others get nothing working whole life away

There is still freedom, now only for some

The colors turned grimy, very grey

Everywhere

There's a time when you feel far away.
There's a time when everything feels so different.
Almost like there's no hope in this place.
Then Its stopped, frozen
Where am I but exactly where I always have been?
Didn't want to see, so was shielded
A more careful look- the differences are barely there
Look up!
With the sunrise comes a new day
Another day given, another day he loves
Where to go, but everywhere?
How can we be far away, when He is always near?
Love is greater than distance
Things change, love doesn't
There's a time with no distance.
There's a time of comfort.
