ABC of Hope for Humanity (Poem)

Title: The aMENDment
As a kid,
People would always see me
As one of the troubles—
But they've just never understood
My thoughts, my poems, and drabbles.
They never saw me as a child,
As one of the men of the future.
A person that may become a leader,
The one who'll have the drive to nurture.
Now, I've grown up—
I did my own healing and mending bruises.
Believing that someday the world would change,
Uplifting the youth to win while accepting losses.

Title: The bookShELF
Reading,
It gives me much learning
About humans and how the world runs.
It gives me understandings,
Like, why we sometimes tend to use guns.
Out of cruelty and inequality,
We chose not to behave and fight,
But I don't think it's the only way
Because my eyes can still see a light.
If only we'll try to practice a personality
Of always putting ourselves to the other's shoe
Then we'll have better words and actions
Not to makes someone's war to just blew.

Title: The COMPASSion
Creatures,
Different people with different griefs,
Different hearts with different beats
And different races with different beliefs—
Contradictions are built from bits.
We are walking in dissimilar directions,
Travelling and sometimes crosses paths—
But because of the eagerness to complete missions,
We, as furious ones, chooses to smash the bats.
Trying to compete without even realizing
That they are not bumped for the battles—
They've just met to help each other's game,
Have compassion to offer a ride in their shuttles.
