Looking into the silent night

Looking into the silent night

My thoughts begin to wonder

Questions begin to come from nowhere

Some in which I can not answer

I try had to run away, but they always

Seem to stare me in the face

Looking into the silent night

I heard a voice say look around you, what do you see

I see hunger, killing, and thieves

Just than a thought came to me

This isn't the life for my future children to see

Looking into the silent night

I find  myself with any doubts

I wonder is there anyway out?

                     - written by a family member 

      This poem written by a family member is a reflection of how he views his neighborhood and the world that he lives in today. As we get other, in we think about having a possible future, a family, we have to take a look at whats going on around us. Bringing another human being into a world that may not be fit for a better future or life style may not be the smartest decision to make. Everything that happens around us are signs and it is up to us as human to decide how those signs reflect upon us. Some people are afraid of change but in some cases change may be better for us as individuals. Our future and our children future ultimately lies in our hands as the adult. We should be wise and not so closed minded to opportunities.
