When the darkness falls,
lights go on,
doors are locked.
Behind locked doors supper is served,
warm beds await.
life couldn't get any better.

In the darkness-outside,
in the alleys and streets,
the homeless wander.
Hunger gnawing at their insides,
the cold pavements await.
Life couldn't get worse.

When darkness falls,
when eating supper,
when getting into a warm bed.
Remember those outside your locked doors,
and count your blessings.

i like this poem alot
i shows the diffenrce between having a family that cares and not having anyone at all
i like the two paragraphs::

When the darkness falls,
lights go on,
doors are locked.
Behind locked doors supper is served,
warm beds await.
life couldn't get any better.

In the darkness-outside,
in the alleys and streets,
the homeless wander.
Hunger gnawing at their insides,
the cold pavements await.
Life couldn't get worse.



but i feelt like the poem lack an end with::

When darkness falls,
when eating supper,
when getting into a warm bed.
Remember those outside your locked doors,
and count your blessings.

"isn't it supposed to be like this? the glory of first love, and all that. it's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?"---twilight

It didn't grab me and I didn't enjoy it, personally.

However, very clear message, good message and it was conveyed in a 'sit up and listen' way.
The opposite of courage is not cowardice but conformity
