A good explanation for the poems you're about to read would be living in today's world. We are all reactions to our own actions. We are responsible for the way life is today. We are not innocent in any way. What we choose is a choice we make for each other. We blame it on the governments but we vote for what we are dealt in life. We must take a stand as one. Let the world hear our voice and let the governments of the world see our action.
This first poem is about the rules and regulations we are supposed to live by. Yet the rules and regulations keep us prisoners of the governments that rule over us. Taking away freedoms we thought we were entitled to but never really had.
We are like mindless robots walking around aimlessly through life. Ignoring all the freedoms that are taken away from us every day. We need to speak up and stand up or we will be lost forever. We have the power. We are the voice. We are the answer. Each one of us has a choice. We just need to come together as one and make the right choice. Put aside our own indifference and vote for a better way of life. A true Quality of life.

“Break away”
3-3-2018
When your relatives go missing,
And cannot seem to be found.
Don’t go blame the government,
If you find them hidden underground.
Your Safety is guaranteed,
If you bow down to our rules,
But disobey our written instructions,
And watch us turn into howling ghouls.
If your poor and on the street,
Don’t turn to us for any help.
We do not endorse a quality of life,
To your pathetic begging self.
We will let you into our circle,
As long as your attire is perfect.
But we reserve the right to ignore you,
If the color of your skin doesn’t fit.
Your Reservations are set,
You have got a ticket in your hand.
But we do not promise on our side,
that we will eventually let you in.
Your Travel arrangements are made,
And your luggage is packed away.
But if someone more important arrives.
You’ll have to sit back and wait.
If you don’t understand English,
We’re not sorry for your inconvenience.
Maybe you should have studied more,
Before traveling to our land of proper etiquette.
Freedom is not given freely,
In this great land of persecution.
So take a seat over there to your left,
And we’ll begin your transformation.
If you happened to be stopped and detained,
We will get to your interrogation in awhile.
You must have been selected correctly,
And met one of our watchful profiles.
Your Innocent until proven guilty,
An urban legend at best.
The police will begin your beating soon,
No need to make any requests.
Your rights haven’t been given as of yet,
We will decide if you're sound of mind.
And only after we slam you into a cage,
Will we feel you'll be worth the time?
Your country’s religion isn’t working,
We feel it’s worthless and corrosive.
So we’ll be making plans real soon,
To begin our air raids of explosives.
The people of today need to realize,
That our governments are the ones at fault.
Not religion, not color or culture,
We need to bring this way of life to a halt.
Because if we allow it to continue,
All freedoms will fade into darkness.
Quality of Life will become a Myth,
And the world will conform to the blindness.
Stand up and begin a new journey,
Take pride in who you are now.
And “break away” from the mindless wandering,
Of government controlled herds of cows.
This poem is about the shootings in the schools of today. We need to protect our children better. We need to bring families together and help them with their children. Too many children of today live a very abusive lifestyle. They have no one to talk to, look up to and ask for help from. They are emotionally and mentally disturbed because of the life they are forced to live.
If we, as a society come together and help each other. No child will want to use a gun on each other. We need to have better control and better rules of bullying in schools. This is getting way out of control and we need to put an end to it now. We need to help encourage our children to be strong and love themselves and everyone around them.
We must raise them right. Teach them to have respect for everyone and everything. But it all begins with love. Love is the answer and the cure. We must teach them to care. To put value in life. Put the value in their own life. Once respect and love have been taught, then they can begin to heal and help heal the world. We must become a "one world community" plain and simple.
