Keep the Earth
April's falling
April's sinking
April's dying
April's crying
Now
Sing little lover birds
Sing all you may
For the world that's standing in your way
You cried for rivers
And you cried for food
You cried for the shivers
And what's left to loose
Oh keep the earth turning
Keep your heart yearning
Smile at the face that you once knew
Smile at those who loved you
Oh hold me know and let me rest
My heart upon your weary chest
Oh keep the earth turning
April's falling
April's sinking
April's dying
April's crying
Now
Cry little laughing plants
Cry all you may
For the world that's standing in you way
Oh you enslaved
All that was true
Creeping in the heart
That once controlled you
Oh keep the earth turning
Keep your heart yearning
Smile at the face that you once knew
Smile at those who loved you
Oh hold me know and let me rest
My heart upon your weary chest
Oh keep the earth turning
Keep the earth turning
Keep your heart yearning
Open now and let me rest
Your heart upon my weary chest
Open now and let me rest
Our hearts upon our weary chests
Smile
Smile
Turning
Yearning
April's falling
April's sinking
April's dying
April's crying
Now

I am new to the whole Poetry World, but I've found it so interesting. Especially what the minds of youth can say and interpret. I've always loved writing and poetry units in school, so for the last year or so I've started to write my own poems. I love the subject of human rights and equality. I love nature and music as well. Also, I enjoy being globally involved in the world, so that's just me.
