I just started to think everything that was wrong in the world, and then I started thinking about people. How they THOUGHT that they were all good and that it doesn't matter, and I just started getting mad. I wanted this to change people's views and if people see it on the internet... Well. I hoped I'd get lucky and maybe it'd spread.
As for the last line, it basically means that the adults may not care because they wont' be around for much longer. But I"m telling them that then, their children are going to suffer in their place. It came from the ad I saw on TV. A train was coming and polluting the air to repersent what we were doing to the Earth. The man stepped out of the way saying that it wouldnt' affect him... And then the scene fades off showing a little girl that was standing behind him, about to get hit. That just really got to me and I had to add it in to close the poem.
Thanks. Its one of the few sparks of inspiration that I managed to find in my eternal writer's block. I hope one day, it'll open some eyes.
