A New Set of Eyes
As I parade down the sidewalk,
With my wide-eyed mind,
I see giants marching around me,
Known as mankind.
These titan looking creatures,
The power they posses,
Look down on us,
Like Gods nevertheless.
The strength they retain,
Can protect a nation,
And without a doubt,
Will be our salvation.
But as time goes by,
And what we see becomes new,
How we look at them,
Might no longer be true.
As I stroll down the sidewalk,
With my developed mind,
I see hatred around me,
Known as mankind.
They look overworked and underpaid,
Not a smile in sight,
I never wanted to admit,
My future was no longer bright.
The weakness they give off,
Like a feather under a brick,
Brings me down,
And makes me feel sick.
These new set of eyes,
That formed over time,
Have shown me the world,
That isn't worth a dime.

This poem is supposed to portray that how you look at the world can change over time whether it is in a good way or a bad way. In my case, I want to tell the reader about how my view on the poeple in this world has changed since I was younge and innocent. I hope people get the idea that opinions are always changing and that is okay, it is what you do with those opinions that make a difference.
