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!!!!! By; Bryan Oliver
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
