Jon M. Nelson Poems

As we journey through our lives,
We all take separate paths.
Sometimes they're filled with sorrow,
Other times they're full of laughs.
...

Once again, it's that time of year,
When the world should be full of cheer.
This is the time for peace and love,
As the angels watch from up above.
...

You can't expect me to be something I'm not,
This is who I am and this is what you've got.
I won't pretend to be someone else's dream,
So that I can help with your self-esteem.
...

So many treasures of this nation
have been lost and will never be found

There is no justice kept at the borders
...

It's impossible for you to choose,
Either way you're going to lose.
With more than one life at stake,
It's a very difficult choice to make.
...

I sit here as the rain pours down
All by myself, with no one around.
I have to find my way back home,
I'm lost out here and I'm all alone.
...

Hundreds are unaccounted for
Still there are hundreds more.
Helping out one by one,
Yet the task remains undone.
...

After the planes crashed into the towers,
It was utter chaos for the following hours.
The buildings were burning and people dying,
We watched in horror as we all were crying.
...

As the darkness slowly begins to settle in,
I can feel the evil, the hatred, and sin.
I'll attempt to counterbalance the fight,
When I use love, purity, and the light.
...

We all have the same color blood within,
So why should it matter the tone of skin?
If you believe in a God, Deity, or nothing at all,
It shouldn't be a reason that you have to fall.
...
