Is this the future you wanted?

To see the children suffering

To orphan the young

To sing your song of freedom?



Is this the future you wanted?

To see buildings destroyed

Children all alone

To sing your song of freedom?



Is this the future you wanted?

Thousands dead or dying

Thousands of dollars of debt

To sing your song of freedom?



Is this the future you wanted?

Children free to play

Woman free to marry

Men, singing their songs of freedom



Is this the future you wanted?

Music fills the air

It's a song

A song of freedom
This was a poem I had written for English about the Civil War.

Learn to love the flaws,

And just take a look and pause,

For your body is beauty,

Even if only you see.



You may not see it now,

But you must take a bow,

For your body is music,

And you play it acoustic.



Run you hands across your thighs,

And listen to the sighs,

For your body is a work of art,

And you know it by heart.



Take the breaths you need,

For self-hate is just the seed.

Let go of the doubt you feel,

So  you can finally heal.

— The End —
