social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Gears
Love is it real or is it fake, is it something to hate pick your take. Shame is lame, something that you can't tame. Peace take it or leave it, it's up to you to do the believing. Lies the only question I have is why. Good-byes saying it while looking in people's eyes. Tears mostly stems from people fears. Why have I been waiting all these years to take off and switch these gears.

"New Beginnings"
Yesterday is gone, and here I stand feeling empowered and strong. Something came over me when I woke up, made me see that life is worth living when you don't give up. Sometimes those people who claim they had enough, are really saying give them reason not to give up. Be there and help them to see there is someone out there they can trust.
