Stand Together

Poem By: mystory
Young Adult


Time is running short, and still we are ignoring the signs. We must stand together, or fall forever. View table of contents...

Disaster strikes yet again,

Taking away another life.

Tragedy stirkes once more,

Taking the newest sacrifice.

One by one we are falling,

But no one seems to care.

They go about theirbusy lives,

With not a moment left to spare.

They don't stop,

And take the time to see,

That the end of our world,

Is coming much too quickly.

There is a way that we can win.

We must learn to stand together.

It's not too late to turn back,

Before we are bound to this fate forever.

We can still win this war,

And come out on top.

We must put aside our differnences,

So all this pain can stop.

There is a force out there,

Much greater than our kind.

It's time to forget our quarrels,

And leave the fights behind.

If we stay apart this way,

Then we will be easy to defeat.

But if we can all stand together,

Then we will not be beat.

The warning has sounded,

All too clear.

So why is it,

That no one else can hear.

Can't they see,

The worst is yet to come?

Can't they see,

The monsters we've become?

We are oun worst enemies.

Destoying all we hold dear.

We will cause our own downfall.

This is my worst fear.

I can sense things are about to get worst,

From this point on.

Unless we can stand together,

Everything will be gone.

Time is running short,

The end is almost here.

Death lingers in the air.

The signs are all too clear.

If things continue this way,

Soon, we will all die.

We are living our final hours,

And won't have time to say goodbye.

We must learn to stand together,

And trust each other.

We must learn to forgive and forget.

And learn to help one another.

But will we see the light in time?

Will we be able to pull through?

Why aren't we doing anything,

When we all know what to do?

We all know how to end it.

We all know it in our mind.

But still we ignore it,

Because we are all too blind.

We must learn to stand together,

Or fall forever.

hi, some lovely rhymes in this poem. i think your writing is getting better. the subject u choose here is a big one though very important, which makes it difficult to write about, but u pull it off really well. We should all stand together, tho i find many people in life r selfish and only care about their own existance. U should check out my poem Free Tibet, i've tried to write it in the perspective of many different voices crying out for freedom. Unfortunately many people in Tibet r dying but the world just turns away. Do we never learn from our own past?

Thank you so much for the great comment. Yes, it's so sad that people know that others are dying, but just ignore it because they either think they can't do anything, or because they are too busy with thier own life. Yes, I think I'll check out your poem. :)
