lately things have been rough, mostly for my friends, which really hurts. I was angry at my mate last night for the first time, which i'm horribly sorry for, i still love him very much. I hit an elk in my car 2 nights ago, messed up my windshield really bad, costs me $155 for a new one. A friend of mine who i don't talk to enough is sliding into depression. What's going on these days?
I think God has made us special though, but sadly as you pointed out in your poem, we tend to use what makes us special in the wrong way.
We are creatures of thought, beings of understanding. God has chosen to let us evolve with minds that somehow generate results based on the larger world around us. Sadly in all of our hopes and dreams and attempts to understand that gift which we have, the gift and curse of knowledge, we continue to choose the wrong things. We take what makes us special, and use it to harm others out of fear or jealousy or simply out of unfounded hate.
Life is hard, and life is sad, and I hate to say that its always going to be that way.
But god made us special, and that means those of us who see the horror of what people can do and lament for it, can also change it.
There is always hope, never forget that.
As for the poem, I thought it was very well written, and you really managed to get a wide range of complex emotions out, most prominently frustration and despair.

thanks for the comment. i believe that we are all different from eachother , not exactly special , but different , though our species as a whole is special , in its ability to mold and shape the world as no other species we know of is able to. and its true , we have molded and shaped it to our own ends , creating more pain and suffering rather than helping much , for every medical breakthrough that saves millions of lives , theres a war or two which takes more , the balance is tipping further and further to one side as our world progresses and im afraid we wont like whats going to happen when the bar finally tips too far and we all come crashing down
