"Poetry: Know It/ Grow It" by spence
Know it/Grow it
If we cannot accept each other- then how can we ever complain?
When we look back with malice at others and they look back to us just the same?
We’re judgemental- it’s instrumental in the loss of the faith that we had,
Condemning each other, creating our cover- to hide from the fact that we’re sad.
You know life’s not easy in this small world today
We have to see things from so many ways:
We’re seeing and knowing more than all those before,
Aware in depression of VIOLENCE-HATE-WAR!
You feel really bad when you see things that way-
A feeling of anger- that someone must pay!
But the price becomes yours- as you lead from the front
To consume and possess what you’ve been taught to want.
Distracted; you rage at the things in your face
Frustrated; cant change things- you feel a disgrace.
All those around you feel the force of your wrath
The anger misguided- you’ve strayed from the path.
But somewhere inside is a power: I know
You feel something ‘free’ and autonomy grows
You realise the strength that you had from the start
That it’s only yourself that kept it apart
Blaming no more and with no need to judge
You won’t be afraid and your stance will not budge.
You won’t seek approval for the way that you feel
You won’t be ashamed of what you say’s real
You’ll sing like a bluebird released from its cage
The truth in your free heart will temper your rage.
You know it- you grow it- the sowing of seed
That teaches- not preaches- the folly of need
You know it- you grow it- the love in your soul
That spreads unto others to their journeys goal
We travel life together- enemy and friend
Create and destroy ‘til our journeys end
But when we all die and return to the earth
It’s those that we cared for that will cherish our worth.

"We all want to be the best we can be, but how many of
us can say we are truly objective?
You have read this poem, now let the poet know how you feel, and comment
truly.
As nice as it is to read "great poem"
it does not make us better and does not give us an indication of what
made it great.
Not all of us are literature students, remember to comment on things
like style, subject and form.
So leave a comment, and help others in this community"
