A moment of silence for 2011.

by danielouis

Damn this was the worst year of my life.
I survived it, is all I should say.
Am I a better person because of it?
That remains to be seen.
2011 taught me meaning of humility.
I've seen poverty before,
but this was something different.
The food bank is wall to wall,
with people needing food.
It's almost over with,
thank God.
And to thee we pray for
a better tomorrow.
The journey will continue,
for some but not all.

The economy Isnt good
Peoples morals are declining
as stress rises
Crime is up
There is only God left
and friends
Keep close to your buddies here
We hear you!

Your poem has made the point!


Best wishes
Ilan
