Poem of Now

People kept asking me why I didn’t write poems anymore. Last time I wrote one was 2010.
As I thought about it I realized I honestly dont know why. My only guess is that I wasn’t meant to, because I haven’t had a drive to, like I did in the past.
Who knows, maybe this is my time to write poems again. Or, maybe not, because if they don’t come to my head, then there is no poem.
Here is my first attempt at writing a poem in this era of my life.
********************
Before It’s Too Late
********************
My heart breaks when I think about where this world is heading
The hatred that's out there is only spreading
The human race will tear itself apart
Unless people wake up, and change their hearts.
At the rate we are going, it won’t take long.
Soon, we’ll be singing a different song
About how we could have stopped it, if we had just taken the time
To love one another, and stop the crime
Bring forth the kindness I know is there
Bring out the empathy that is oh-so-rare
I hope the human race realizes soon
Because if they don’t, we’ll all be doomed
