Song of Inspiration
Hands held high at the start of the end
We'll be together then, my friends
Believe in me because I know we can take it
Take the world into out hands, if only just for a moment
We'll strike the chords of chaos to heal their broken hearts
And chip away the silence to mend their bleeding souls
Believe in me because I know we can make it
Make them all understand, if only just for a moment
Our words will break the barrier of things said and left unsaid
But most of all, they'll finally see, they'll finally understand
Believe in me because I know we can take it
To take the step to lead us there, if only just for a moment
Each note will kill the pain of things said, said untrue
The door to truth will be unhinged, the lies will be forgotten
Believe in me because I know we can make it
Make this world a better place, if only just for a moment
Maybe one day this world will be full of love and hope
Perhaps then too we'll all agree, agree to disagree
Believe in me because I know we can take it
Take the world into our hands, if only just for a moment
I'll keep playing my six-string till the day we all find peace
But until that day, that shining day, our song will never end
Hands held high at the start of the end
We'll be together then my friends

I liked your poem :)
what I liked: how the pictures somehow fit with the poem, how the beginning and the end are the same, i could tell it was heartfelt, you rhymed occasionally but didn't feel contained by it, you used a healthy dose of repitition
constructive criticism: second line second stanza-is "out" supposed to be "our?" , sometimes the addition of "if only just for a moment" messes up the flow/rhythm/consistency-i like that line, but maybe you could change other parts around so that the flow could still be constant
Great job with your poem!
Kudos.

You say you don't remember,<br /> But I will never forget
Yeah there was a typo in the second stanza, but that happens sometimes. I felt that putting "if only for a moment" in there made my readers understand what I was trying to get them to understand. Thanks for the comment!
