If at times you feel you want to cry.
And life seems such a trial.
Above the clouds there’s a bright blue sky 
So make your tears a smile. 

As you travel on life’s way 
With its many ups and downs 
Remember it’s quite true to say 
One smile is worth a dozen frowns. 

Among the worlds expensive things 
A smile is very cheap 
And when you give a smile away, 
You get one back to keep. 

Happiness comes at times to all 
But sadness comes unbidden 
And sometimes a few tears must fall 
Among the laughter hidden. 

So when friends have sadness on their face 
And troubles round them piled 
The world will seem a better place 
And all because you smiled.

I've been bullied and it makes me mad.
Sometimes I come home and cry to my mom and dad. 
I think school is a great place
but not when someone makes fun of me to my face. 
I try to be nice to everyone I know
even when I get made fun of just for show. 
Being bullied will never stop me.
To be the best person I can be. 
I know that one day everyone will finally see
how it truly feels to be me. 
It can make you angry, sad and even bad,
But at the end of the day it makes me glad
to know that I am a stronger person because of it even though it makes me mad.

Life is just a journey
Full of twists and bends
But when you rely on family
And the value of your friends
You’ll find that the journey is easier
that the path is not as rough.
Each step you take with others
Helps it not be so hard and tough.

Sometimes it’s happy; sometimes sad.
Sometimes it is good, and sometimes bad.
Once it was old; now it’s a fad.
Doesn’t writing these silly poems make you mad?
I’d rather sing silly songs.
It is fun and oh so nice.
Sometimes, you have to wonder about
This thing called life.

Once a week, is not too much at all

Each year, millions of animals are slaughtered on factory farms for human consumption. Factory farming is a leading cause of global warming because it increases the levels of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Because meat is produced on factory farms, those that consume meat on a daily basis, or have a diet that depends heavily on meat and poultry contribute greatly to the amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet, or even just opting to go vegetarian once a week, which can be as easy as choosing a salad for lunch, can decrease the levels of greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere.

All people have different beliefs and different gods
All say they love god but they fight in their name
Wrong persons just need someone to blame on
At last they end up in gods name as an excuse for their mistakes
Gods belief should only be used for love, faith and unity
Not for our personal vengeance
When all people respect and love others and their belief
And know what god really wants from us
That day this world would be a heaven which
We no need to search after death!!!!!

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
My life is so unfair and terrible
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
Those people are so mean and cause me trouble
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
My enemy try to call me with a label

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
I'm tired of facing the truth–so painful
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
Those problems turn my life not so cheerful
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
I'm standing on a place which is so awful

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
I feel lonely and sick of this world
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
I have nothing more to be sold
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
I have neither faith nor religion to hold

Can I go back to your womb, mommy?
I never ask to be born like this
Can I hug you tonight, mommy?
What a cruel life it is
Can you hold my hands, mommy?
I feel like I fall into abyss

Does it really matter what your religion is; 
Or the color of your skin? 
What church you attend on sunday, 
or the neighborhood you live in? 

Is the car you drive really important? 
Does it make the man or woman inside? 
Does any thing in this world truely matter? 
Can you take it to the other side? 

Something is wrong with our nation today, 
we seem to have lost all common sense.
We no longer stand united, 
we use discrimination as our defense.

We try to exhault our selves higher, 
then everyone else we see; 
We try to prove we are better inside, 
but our selves we can not decieve.

Let us put an end to the hatred, 
lets' put discrimination in the past; 
Let us restore our nation to greatness, 
with a greatness that will surely last.

Genetically modified flower blue rose is unique! 
Rose colour gives hope of future by its very look; 
Red rose is unique among flowers as it is queen
In the flower world nobody can deny having it! 

Yellow rose shines bright in the long green garden
Full of many trees and other flower plants broad! 
Pink rose flowers are many everywhere as border
Mainly in the botanical garden of hill stations here! 

Blue rose, a new addition in the flower kingdom
Among lavender, blue bells and rare kurinjis of
Light blue, violet and ink blue colours everywhere
Stands majestic and having healing touch to all! 

Rose is rose by whatever name it is called and also
Rose is rose by whatever colour it is produced ever! 

Poem title: A Blue Rose!
