Plant the Seed

The times right now.

The times right here.

So why stand still and watch it all disappear?

Every minute, every day, every year passes us by or has it just slipped away?

We see people need all around us yet we go about our day.

Our world is self involved.

Why must it be so cruel and flawed?

We live for ourselves but lets transform that into us.

I'm starting with me.

Going to nursing school and hoping on the louder than words bus.

Won't you join me?

Something wrong with this poem?

<p>I'm open to any suggestions and help. I don't write poetry so I am not aware of structure or anything like that. I did write it from the heart though. How would I be able to go about reading my poem to be heard, literally?</p>

<p>I really enjoyed the spirit and passion in the writing, but the meter could improve slightly and turn this into a beauty! I'd like to hear it read by the writer to get a feel for how they read it in their own mind.</p>
