Why Are We-Just My Thought Today Poem by Kelley Collins

We are meant to be a society
living together as one in a world,
Everyone unique with a seperate value,
to enhance the future of our children to be,
Why do we make so many mistakes?
We have the intelligence to make positive things happen,
Why do we lose track of our dreams?
We must focus on one plan at a time,
we must not get too wrapped up in another mans ideas for we have our own,
We must not focus on this society; for, it has forgotten the greatest
gift to us all is humanity,
We need not sympathize for uncaring others in this society that does
not choose to help oneself,
Quitters have chosen not to save oneself or any other beside them,
those of us whom help ourselves continually help others,
Quitters disable oneselves,
Survivors remain strong,
Which are we?
I ask myself continually,
I know focus, focus, focus, Survive all,
Do more than survive, Make a difference in life.
