Bronze to iron
Arrows to bullets
Keep pushing forward
Something new
Always becoming faster; stronger
Because nothing's ever good enough
For the wants we'll never satiate
Desires born from sickness
Poison in our hearts
Spreading deep inside
So not a soul will see it
Blindly we ask God for answers
As to why there's so much pain
When we're the ones who cause it
Strike down our brothers
Never seeing who they are
The world we call normal
Is nothing more than an infection
A crippling disease hidden in the shadows
But the silhouette's still there
In a patch of moonlight bright as day
Can you still see the darkness?
Open your eyes to the world outside the one we live in
To the page in a book with a simple rule
We somehow never thought of
Strive for peace when you see hate
Free the souls bound by greed and fear
To finally make our time worth living
Make the vaccine, there's a need for a cure

This one is pretty obvious in meaning I think. I would like to apologize if it's kind of cheesy at the end, but I wanted a glimmer of hope.
As for inspiration, it came from the peace memorials in Hiroshima. After they were hit by the bomb, it became a mission to promote peace worldwide, because they didn't want anyone to experience what they did ever again. I think that is a sign of true human advancement, which is what I'm trying to portay here. Unfortunately instead of making this "vaccine", they will no doubt continue efforts on weapons and erectile dysfunction <_<; ...but I will keep my fingers crossed for an era of peace anyway. |

After reading your poem and due to a few other factors, I feel like this is something that needs to be done. Although I realize this is a small step in comparison to a world scale, as more and more people stand up for peace, the more we realize that peace is not surreal.
I want words to become actions, and I know it's going to be hard for me to keep updating this club with me working full time, but every fiber of my being screams out, "DO IT."
I'll try to update you soon about it, but once it's up, I really want your permission to post this in the poem section of the club. I feel like this could reach out to people who have the same views, I know it did to me.
Have a wonderful weekend Jackie.

"Peace is obtained in this world one heart at a time. Show love to others that do not know love. Befriend those in need that do not have a shoulder to cry on. Compassion, tolerance, love, and understanding are gifts all our hearts can obtain." *Jeremy*

But Jackie, didn't you know....
Having an erection and mega-ultra-super weapons is a bajillion times more important than world peace!

As for the club that's a good idea. Every little step counts. Let me know if you get it up and I'll join it. You can put this up there, but as a condition please link to this one and disable favourites and comments on the club version. Thank you, hope you have a good one too!

But, I guess. Until we can have 24/7 erections, and super ultra weapons, we won't stop.
