One little misfire
It may be a nuclear weapon
Or a few harmful words
A mistaken wrong move
I causes a world of difference
Chaos unravels
Disorder erupts
Nothing is the same
Earning back trust
Piece by piece
Slowly and carefully
One thing after another
Trying to restore the past
Pretend nothing ever happened
Put the pieces back together
That got kicked all over
And broke the puzzle
Making it whole once again
Baking the missing piece of pie
Which was eaten out of hate
Bring everyghing back together again
Why use violence
No more misfired bombs
Stopping the hurtful words
Quit the war and mistrust
Solve with peace and understand

First of all and add period, comas, things like that, then I will return
I will always fight back, no matter what.

I agree with piepie put correct punuaction in and I'll return.
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction. Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill. We are the hidden fist of the free market.
We are the ink, we are the quill.

The fourth line "a mistaken wrong move" is stating things twice. Just tho0ght I'd point that out. Good idea; punctuate for more crits

One little misfire.
It may be a nuclear weapon,
Or a few harmful words.
A mistaken wrong move:
It causes a world of difference.
Chaos unravels.
Disorder erupts.
Nothing is the same.
Earning back trust,
Piece by piece,
Slowly and carefully,
One thing after another,
Trying to restore the past.
Pretend nothing ever happened.
Put the pieces back together,
That got kicked all over,
And broke the puzzle.
Making it whole once again.
Baking the missing piece of pie,
Which was eaten out of hate.
Bring everyghing back together again.
Why use violence?
No more misfired bombs.
Stopping the hurtful words.
Quit the war and mistrust.
Solve with peace and understanding.

Here's the punctuation!
and thanks for the critiques so far!

There is potential here, but the way you list each individual line as a seperate idea deters from the flow. You must correlate your ideas so throughout the course of your poem we are guided along a specific topic. It shouldn't be up to the reader to unravel what you have written. Also, correcting spelling errors is not something that should be disregarded. Cheers,

The individual leads in actual fact a double life, one in which he is an end to himself and another in which he is a link in a chain which he serves against his will or at least independently of his will.

Thank you!
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, and hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.
