Sunshine/Rainstorm

Once again, I never had time to plan ahead & make an awesome blog post so today you are getting a poem I wrote back during my senior year of high school. I wrote it for my senior literature class and it was for an assignment based on "The Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot. Ironically, this poem is a great example of what we are talking about in my Community Nursing and my Healthcare Management classes!

"Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours." - Ayn Rand

Poverty

Stealing into their lives

Dying

Tears of sorrow

Crying

Starving for the little bit more

Never given

Taken away from

Life's cruel games

Helpless but hopeful

Flood of change

Circling the globe

Comfort

Peace of mind

Luxury, money

Music floating through

Clean air that resonates in

Open meadows of green

Dancing through life on

Polished floors with

Invisible cares

Dreamers dreams and

Wishes come true

Not knowing what lies

Across the sea

Beyond the rainbow
