The Inner Workings Of My Mind
By: Jonathan Guzman
Free Verse
I see the war.
I fight for the county i live in back home.
I wait for the General to give me an order.
I try not to go insane.
I want to stick with my story .
I need to get this over with.
I am me.
I am a mere mortal.
I need to stop dreaming.
I need to get out of here.
It's Nam they say.
We are ambushed.
I go into a ditch.
See a horrifying image.
Then here a loud boom.
I awoke
I cannot see
Hear
Feel anything....
And I realize
It's not a dream....
If I Were In Charge Of The World
I'd give back,
End world hunger
Ban the effect of the world, and also legalize "it".
If I were in charge of the world
There'd be better healthcare,
An opportunity, and
Fairness for all.
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't be judged.
You wouldn't be afraid.
You wouldn't be lied to.
Or be someone your not
If I were in charge of the world
Latinos,
African-Americans,
And mixed people,
Would still be allowed to be...
In charge of the world.
Ballad
It's not some toy you stop playing with.
Sometimes all it takes is someone really close to trigger that love.
You can't force it.
No one can make you love them as well.
Love it is the best feeling.
Like Romeo and Juliet.
Love shouldn't be taken for granted.
It should be cared for.
When I wake up I never have the feeling again.
