In my mind...the

This is a poem my 15 year old son wrote and presented at school.



In my mind...

In my mind there are questions and thoughts about life,
In this room there are young children trying to fit in,
In this school there are naive beings mentally flailing aimlessly,
In this neighborhood there are many confused, peer pressured teens,
In this city there are groups of people, existing in themselves,
In this state there are several new ideas to benefit ones own self,
In this country there are sorrowful, hopeless, hurt, hated individuals,
In this hemisphere there are those who need, and those who want,
In this world there are greedy, hateful, power hungry people.
My mind prays for a change, a change for the needy to have,
the hurting to be well, the hated to be loved, the greedy to share,
the sorrowful to be glad, the angry to find joy, the lost to be found,
the restless to find peace, the hopeless to hope, the confused to understand,
the lonely to find friend, the useless to find use,
the worthless to find worth, the haters to be lovers,
the jealous to be grateful, the hungry to be fed, the thirsty to quench there thirst,
the thieves to give, the liars to be honest,
the killers to save, the hostile to be lively, the abandoned to be welcomed,
the rejected to be wanted, the fearful to feel safe,
the afraid to be brave, the shy to be outgoing, the exhausted to rest,
the weak to be strong, the tense to be loose, the broken to be fixed,
the hurters to be herders, the godless to find GOD.


W.M.P...aka Weapon of Mass Percussion

...and in this poem, lots' to think about!
Lots of percussion in this...in surround sound too...Amen?!

Love it. Lot's of wisdom and bravery packed into such a young one. I'm so glad he took that step to include God into this piece to present at school. So many schools are trying to kick God out.
