Understanding

[kcmcnerney]

Understanding is an apple, sweet upon my lips.
Understanding is a mountain, among life’s downs and dips.
Understanding is a rainbow, when the storm has passed.
Understanding is eternal, past hatred it shall last.
Understanding is a sparrow, flying high and free.
Understanding is a person, which anyone can be.
Understanding is a gift, from the lord above.
Understanding makes us people. Understanding gives us love.

[Electron.John]

Excellent! "Understanding is a rainbow, when the storm has passed." Very nice comparison, although they are all good really. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much!

Some of the lines in your poem are very pretty. Thanks for sharing! You might want to capitalize "Lord"?

The American Dream

The American Dream
This Dessert storm is one I refuse to conform.
I’ll be patient but I refuse to be a patient.
When you become injured just be aware,that
Obama-care was created without a care.
Did you know that history repeats itself?
You must step out of the fog of illusion.
That has no conclusion.
Because this illusion is a confusion.
Don’t worry don’t worry I’m not in a hurry.
Sit down and smile for this may take a while.
Please let me explain what is causing me pain.
America has stolen my Dreams.
This started when they sold me my Dreams.
I wonder if this began.
When speaking of religion in public was a sin.
No Justice no peace screams the protester.
Put your hands up or I will still shoot screams the protector.
I don’t understand the paradigm of the 21^st Century.
Placing innocent black men in the penitentiary.
This will explain why they have been extinct for a century.
