    Finally starting to feel poetic again. It goes in cycles, and it's good to be back :)

    The Universe Cries

    Fear not little girl
    For when you cry
    The universe cries with you

    For when they come with greedy hands
    And angry hearts aflame
    To take what they can never have
    It goes not unseen
    The stars see
    And you are not alone in your tears

    And when the bombs burst
    And the bullets shriek
    Rending air and flesh alike
    It goes not unheard
    The Earth hears
    And shudders with you in her sobs

    And when they come with lying eyes
    Souls black with their deceit
    And throw your truth to the dudgeon pits
    It goes not unknown
    The ocean knows
    And she is all the saltier for her tears

    So fear not little girl
    For when you cry
    The universe cries with you

    Gosh, I wish it were true. We are intruders here and even the sweetest little girl that lives must be a toxin to this long, long suffering world. Smart line breaks!

    Thanks kidder. Do you really think we're intruders though? Seems to me we belong here just as much as any other living thing, we are just not living right. Things could be better, and used to be better.

    hi there

    this is beautiful
    yet very sad to read.

    i say

    so fear not little girl
    a change has come
    a world with out
    fear without
    greed..
    but thats my wish
    my active self
    and now i say
    stop...
    all tears ...


    anyway ive added like i do at times.
    i did feel you could shout more in this poem
    this world is unfair
    hopefully it will break away
    capitalism....

    loven peace from saff
    a socialist ...member

    I loved the bit about the ocean being all the saltier for having cried with her (the little girl). The only criticism I have is of the way you have portrayed innocence via a little girl...why are girls always used to symbolise innocence, all the more the little ones? I'm not sure if anyone else will understand what I am saying, but I know what I mean (I think). Blimey, my head hurts!
