Broken

The world is a broken place
Overcome by hate and greed
People fight and kill for power
Forgetting love is what we need

Our country is a broken system
Started with many noble goals
Leaders tried to find a new path
But in the end they trapped our souls

Family is a broken wonder
Meant to provide love and protection
Often it’s the source of sorrow
Instead of joy and true affection

Friendship is a broken promise
Caused by souls that cannot give
Even though they want connection
They simply strive to survive and live

I am a broken person
And I know that you are too
I will find a way to fix ME
So I can then in turn help you

Your post here

shows how powerful and how much meaning there is behind the word "broken". Thanks for the post-Lee

Great poem!

One of the best I've ever read. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to reading more.

It's an all too common experience

for many today. Your conclusion expresses noble intentions which, if all put into practice would make life so much easier.
