Distant Watcher:
I find myself always watching the world with my third eye,
realizing the truth I sigh.....
Shocked at what I see, I hang my head low,
what has happend to society.
I watch, tears begin to fall, sad at what I see,
Hate has become normal, love informal,
a smile causes unwanted attention, even though you have good intentions.
no one cares....
no one's paying attention.
I watch trying to convince myself there is still some good out there...
but I find myself trapped in a distant stare.
I can't help but to feel disappointed....
Has trying to teach the youth become pointless?
I'm just a distant watcher, fearing as we get older we will have less power,
to teach....
to educate....
to hope.....
I watch gaining knowlege to pass down to the youth, trying to teach them the truth, everything is not always easy and smooth as it seem, if your not careful you will one day look back and ask "What the heck happen to my dream".
I haven't given up, I dare not try, sometimes it's hard to find reasons why.
