I Have Seen I Have Heard
I have seen I have heard
The lies and the truths
About our world.
One says hate
The other says hope
Whether fleeting or steadfast
Both impact
The way we see each other.
I have seen I have heard
The sighs and the laughs
Of people.
One says hunger, burden, disdain
The other says possibility
Whether to seperate or to unite
Both last
In how we treat each other.
I have seen I have heard
The entitled and the impoverished
Outside their homes.
One says give me
The other says thank you
Whether to take or to endure
Both change
The way the world sees us.
This poem is about:
