    I am new to the writers forum
    HI!
    I write a lot, mainly philosophy since that is my major, but also much poetry...good is relative, so it may or may not be good to you...either way here is one of my poems.

    The Regressive
    No more progress
    we need to regress
    in terms of material excess
    for which we opress
    whole nations and peoples
    just like us
    holding them as slaves
    to what we have ingrained
    in our childrens minds
    as
    the best
    the rest
    need to catch up to us
    because they are less
    lesser human beings then we
    you see
    we are not the same
    they are weak

    you and me
    infuse oil through our veins
    and die of complications
    produced by the
    fruits of human labour
    without a care for who they are
    or where

    This Is America-
    The unknown street understood by the lowliest criminal and exploited by the most savvy business man.
    The rolling grain hills that beget our fiendish appetite.
    The fuel we give to our placated future.
    Our once had, but which soon left.
    Our forever towering structure waning in the wind.
    New elements infused delaying freefall.
    Understandable passing as understood.
    Revolts and reverts.
    Undertow in the calming tide.
    The shining lights being our North Star.
    Scorning of tradition in favor of revolution.
    Lashing tongues at encroaching evil while doing little to suppress our own.
    Ever-sinking growth.
    Torpedoes of faith and awestruck onlookers finding the path to the end.
    Weaving industrial into a merriment with what is natural.
    Our uncontrollable and unforgiving destiny in a Petri dish.
    A cataclysm of times.
    The ordaining of cubic-spheres and the whitewash of our fabrics.
    Honesty being moot and mundane.
    Realizations and visualizations.
    Twist the unkempt and corner the weary.
    Pacify the challengers and keep at bay the truth.
    Amass the ranks for they will soon be depleted.
    Scouring the bottom for the remnants of the strong.
    A puzzle of shambles set in melting adhesive.
    An alloy of the unidentified.
    The wants of hope slipping.
    Our vices becoming our victories, upstaging preemptive moral.
    Fate beckons to little resistance.
    Hesitation due to doubtfulness.
    Giving way to only phases of the moon.
    Rigor in the face of the unforeseen.
    Rectify chosen idols and silence the collective.
    Dog your values and howl.

    Hey, metaphysica,

    I like your poem. Like Manifest Destiny revisited. It has a great rhythm, kind of rap.

    Happy Daze
    Glowing Rain
    Pour the love
    All over me

    Listen to the sound
    Little laughter in the room
    We can smile
    Feel the joy

    Smell a worn tattered pillow bear
    Lugged around for years
    Breathe it in slow
    Every time carried from car to home

    Showered in sunshine
    Move your hips
    Sound of body and mind

    Let your bare feet
    Snuggle with cool grass
    Walk you to your dreams
    Take it in slow

    Smile in the morning
    Enjoy a fresh new day
    Wake in a new beginning
    Every single day
