Broken Hearts

Things may seem
to break, shatter, crumble
but that's only when
you look only into the dark.

People give up
so easily it seems
these days;
live for nothing
or die for something.

Those who fight
for freedom from
the ever entangling tyrant
that differs from person
to different person
can be trusted with
everything.

Realize the dream
and forge the future
with nothing but your mind
and your heart.

Hope is a simple word
but so is death
anyone can cause either
of these two.

Be the one to change
the entire world
place a smile
on the dirty faces
on the broken hearts.
