They Say

by Madonna (Cancer) - Not entered

They say I do not talk
But I have spoken
Of dreams and wishes
And the world is no better for my words

They say I do not see
But I have seen
Violence and hate
And the world will not change before my eyes

They say I do not hear
But I have heard
The cries of children and voices of reasons
And the world still goes deaf

They say I do not know
But I have know
Of hunger and war
And this world will be better because of me

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem for all of the people in this world who are 
restricted because of age or inexperience.  This poem is for 
the younger generations who are not believed to be important 
or who never had their ideas listened to.  This poem is for 
the older generations, who because of physical or mental 
inabilities, are believed to forgotten all they once knew.  This
poem is for all whose knowledge and wisdom are ignorned.
