One Man

by Steve Powers - Virgo

I am one man amongst all men.
I wonder what went wrong,
I hear the screams,
I see the pain,
I want it to stop!
I am one man amongst all men.

I pretend that I am a god,
I feel the Earth,
I touch the sky,
I worry about the human race,
I cry as I crush it all.
I am one man amongst all men.

I understand nothing of this world,
I say nothing to anyone,
I dream of a new world,
Itry to envision one,
I hope for it to prosper.
I am one man amongst all men.

Reason for writing:

    I had a poetry project in english class last
year and we had to write an "I am" poem.  This
is the poem that got me into writing poetry.
