Injustice Poems
A moral poem about injustice and selfishness
The only thing I can do is write this
When I look at the people on the street begging
I wish they had a better life and homes too
I give them anything I find in my pocket
There is nothing else I can possibly do
When I think about all the ill people in the world
My heart shrinks and gets small
And I pray for them to get better
There is nothing else I can do at all
I feel really sad and my heart becomes stone
When I see people injured in war or maybe dead
And I can’t do anything without getting involved
All I can do is wish for the war to be over instead
When I see the old and poorly all alone inside
I wish I could have the ability to clone
So I can make thousands like myself
And stay with all of them so they won’t feel alone
I don’t know what is wrong with this world
It has so much injustice and selfishness
I am powerless I cannot change it
The only thing I can do is write this

“The only thing you can do is write this” and what a blessing it is! You have the ability to touch many lives through what you write. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful! So glad you commented on my site so I could learn about yours! However, I am a great believer in one person can make a difference.
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. You’re very talented, and I enjoyed reading YOUR work. Keep up your writing – you never know where it may lead!
God Bless You,

Hi Marinela,you have great talent,i would never never have believed the author of such a deep and powerful poem was 12. It will be quite something to see you grow girl.
Your line of thought shows much love,empathy for humanity.I love them really. Let the Poet’s voice be heard, through paper and pen.
Thank you so much everyone, your encouraging comments help me to carry on writing and appreciate my work. Your wise and heart filling words make all of the difference to my mood 🙂
a word will help me
when the atmosphere is grim
a boost in my mood
i look forward to seeing you on my website again!
Marinela, your passion is inspiring. Writing can be very powerful. I am very impressed by yours.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and reading my little poem.
Hi Marinela I saw your comment on my site and decided to come and take a look at yours and I’m so very glad I did. What a great talent you have and what great poems you write. I only wish I could write half as well. I am Buddhist by the way and my way of doing things is generally to write humorous poems in order to make people laugh. I would quite like to put a link to your site on mine if you think it would be appropriate. However I will not be offended if you do not. Our first grandchild was born recently and I am hoping to write more poems especially geared towards children and also some more serious stuff. I also would quite like to publish one of your poems under the category of favourite poems by other authors on my site, if you would give permission.
Yes you are right Juliet
writing is a powerful thing
but it can also make me content

thank you for your kind comment on my photographs.
Funny, the sentiments you express in this poem are very similar to something I recently wrote, “Shit happens. The only power I have is to write about the thing.”
The world is overwhelming, is it not?
You are amazing and so much compassion for everybody not seen by a 12year old. You definately received a gift and make use of it. Keep on writing .God bless you dear child love you much
