Decide What To Do

Look at the flood Where waters run deep Look at the lost faith So hard to keep Death and destruction And everything gone No words are needed Just listen and watch And decide what to do Just listen and watch And decide what to do Colors become blind When we’re all of one mind Waters wash away riches And unite the poor Business suits and cut offs Take water the same When we’re up to our necks We’re all of one name So hand in hand we embrace To make a stand Working together to strive To clear out the damage Turn back the waters And once again live Flood waters run deep No words are needed Just listen and watch And decide what to do There’s a simple strength here That won’t be defeated It’s one that’s united In me and in you So as I take your hand Here is mine Together we’ll decide Just what to do While making our stand No words are needed Just listen and watch And decide what to do

Yes, it's amazing what can be accomplished when we work together, it just needs to happen more often :)

This is an awesome call for unity, Mike. I really like your style. We do have to work together to "clear out the damage." Right now, all I can think of us the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that is threatening Florida's beaches. People are organizing to prepare for clean up efforts when it reaches shore. This poem could serve as inspiration to get more help on board. Best to you, Carolyn
