Living, Giving
by David Pekrul
copyright 09-09-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
In this world in which we’re living
Many take, but few are giving
Those in power, always scheming
Common man is only dreaming.

People hungry, some are dying
And we hear them as they’re crying
In disasters they are pleading
But we stand there, watch them bleeding.

Governments, with rules bending
Always breaking, never mending
Corporations, never willing
To give workers one more schilling.

Criminals are out there killing
Which is scary, somewhat chilling
Yet the courts are never willing
To give sentence worth the billing.

In the gap, there’s no one filling,
Though we think they should be willing
While we sit around accusing
Those in power of abusing.

Let us not think this amusing
It is time that we are choosing
Make this world a place worth living
Then we won’t live with misgiving.

I really like the message here, but I agree a little with Regina that the rhymes try to capture all your thoughts and you loose some of the message because of them. I wouldn't change it though, it makes a great rap and if you read it like one it seems better. Thanks, Anthony

A world without self love, it would be great, but here on earth, I doubt it will happen.

I really like it but all the rhyming made me for get what I was reading and I got caught up in all the endings, but I started back from the begging and then I found it quit fulfilling my enjoyment

This is beautiful, and very true. It is us who sit around accusing doing nothing who are truely to blame. I love the rhyme scheme you used for this...it was utterly magnificent.

Though you're wrong...criminals are out there killing, but rapists and murders are getting off too easily, while many people are being put away who should be given clemency. A father shot a man raping his daughter and was sent to prison for murder. Is that right?
