i
The heart of man
is desperate
and true
it's been broken
and hurt,
so no light can see through
The heart of man
is passionate
and strong
bitterness
and resentments,
it seeps in all day long
now
it can longer sing it's lovely song
The heart of man
is soft and contrite
It tries to forgive,
but
has to protects it’s self
from the fight
The heart of man
is trusting and strong
it
gets rejected
and lied to all day long
The heart of man
is helpful and kind
although it
doesn't get nurtured
or
cared for all of the time
The heart of man
is sensitive and wise
we're told to toughen up,
there's no need to cry,
otherwise
you won't win the prize
The heart of man
is so simple and true
we make love
so complicated
we don't know what to do
ii
The heart of man
is such a beautiful thing
when it's open
it's able to do
amazing things
Let's make it our mission,
our passion,
our truth,
to care for each others hearts
before
it no longer has any use
Let's
get out of our heads
and
into our hearts
before we no longer
know how
to love each other,
before we
don't even know where to start
Let's take each other hand in hand
before
we completely
reject each other and no longer can
Let's truly
love one another as we're taught
before
the enemy consumes
the whole lot
Let's love
and accept each other
for who we are
lest we all run away afar
Next time,
you pass a stranger
on the street,
greet them with a smile
and a nod
At first
they might find it little strange,
a little odd,
before long
it will reach
the whole pod
Next time
you meet your family
or a friend,
greet them with a kiss
and a shake of the hand
At first
they may reject it,
before long it will be a
demand!!!!!

I'm open to any suggestions as to how I could structure this poem better.
A few years ago i was in a really deep meditation, a couple days after a workshop I went to, I was thinking and meditating about unconditional love. Then i started hearing the tune in my head. So i decided to write it down. I wrote it in about 2 or 3 hrs.... I only edited it when I joined this poetry group. I've discovered I enjoy writing poetry. I've never taken any poetry classes or anything. I wasn't very good in English class when in school
