Only a Dreamer

Bright stars shining
Full moon gleaming
North wind blowing
Only a dreamer

White snow falling
Children laughing
Families Joining
Only a dreamer

Bombs exploding
People dying
Families mourning
Only a dreamer

Children wishing
Parents lying
Students killing
Only a dreamer

Secrets lurking
Friends betraying
Lovers cheating
Only a dreamer

The lives we live are full of hate
Strife and death and other things
I wish I could put a stop to it all
But I am only a dreamer.

I don't think the lives we live are full of hate. Indifference, yes, but not hate.

I think this is a good starting point..the first 2 stanzas is quite cheerful... but following that the poem becomes dark and depressing....i think by creating this contrast with a less solid thought it would be better....e.g "The lives we live are full of hate" instead the lives we live are love and hate...i no thats not very good but you get the idea...keep writing...good potential :)
