elements

you say all gravity does is pull you down,
but its here to test how strong you are.
would it be right for humans to have control over it?
i think we dont control it for a reason.

water is a keeper of all forms of life
it makes up the majority of our bodies
but to some, it is an enemy within itself
rough oceans and sorrowful drowing souls

when you fall and hit the ground
it hurts to feel the impact of solidity
but where would you stand if it wasnt there?
its a game of snakes and ladders to me

the wind is there, but is it actually there?
my touch says so, and my eyes see the evidence
but some may argue its not visible
-and such is the argument whether God exists

the fire keeps us warm, it burns our bridges down
it lights your cigarette and your fuse
arsons feed on in as it feeds on forest
were the gates to the ozone layer meant to be opened?

without the sun in the sky, we wouldnt live
without the Son in heaven, we wouldnt live
each one gives us light and defeats darkness
do you believe in the sun and the Son?

music is probably half the reason
half the reason why people write poetry here
why there are "groups" -punks, emo, goths...
half the reason music is a hypocritic image

for every mountain, there is a valley
every kilometre has metres within
look around at earth and recognise your thoughts
minimal control within the uncontrollable!

tell me there is no God in heaven... after you are sent to hell

I am a little put off by the use of religion in this one, but however! It is a good poem with good ideas. I like the use of your opinions in it.
