Poem Title:
Poem
I pondered what I could write of As I looked around this world, For everywhere I looked I saw Wrong things get done by man. Big banks…like men… display their greeds, And polluters still pollute, Police brutality still shows On streets we all walk on. And murderers keep taking lives, Be it women, children, men And guns appear where guns are not Even supposed to be. Racism should be in the next Olympics, wherever run, So it can be defeated too… Never be known again. Covid-19 is just the start Of diseases yet to come That will affect our animals And fruits that grow on trees. And if we let Covid mutate, Could it get in oceans’ fish… Get in our waters… even in The waters that we drink? Our plastic bottles we throw out Get dumped into our oceans, As plastic fibers from washed clothes, So very tiny threads. Oh, my, the things that we observe When we in truth look to see, Without sunglasses in daylight Or by a silver moon. We love our earth, or so we say, But, Earth knows well what we do To it and all that makes it up As we live life each day. The wrongs and sins that all men do, Run wildly through them daily, Like emmets running “round” their nests All work and little play. From kings and queens, on to the pope, Factory owners belching smokes, Jet pilots, sailors, car drivers, We all must bear some blame For pollutions that we all put Into the earth every day… And mother earth will one day shout Out loud… “enough ‘s enough”. America for long time now Has changed its “In God We Trust”… To “In Us We Trust”, fallen down… Can’t lift itself back up! W.C.Hull © 2020-8-6-H1448-2558-I52-K52-26
