Hurricane Sandy

I remember the war in Iraq Seeing bombs falling from the sky And parents trying to comfort The children who were afraid to die And I also remember some people Who had happiness on their face? As they watch on the news And enjoy the war that was taking place And then the long lines for gas In Iraq that we see on Aljazeera No one cares because they think That could never happen in America But who is in the kitchen Will be the ones to feel the heat And some takes life for granted That there will always be food to eat Now I look at hurricane sandy And the destructions that it has cause And I’m sure many of those affected Are those who was happy for the wars Innocent lives are lost in sandy And I feel the sorrow in my heart Some lost everything they have All I lost is gas for my truck to start Is this god’s way of saying to all? Super powers nations of the world Change your evil ways today Or more natural disasters will unfold The people in war torn countries Their lifes seems to have no meaning They are being killed for just gathering Or even if they are having a wedding I wish i can make it stop now But my voices are just one And it hurt me to be so helpless While all these atrocities go on So sandy brings pain and emptiness Like no one believe it could do To people who think they were immune From feeling pain and suffering to Until the day Jesus returns to earth There will be wars and hurricanes Tsunamis, typhoons, earth wakes So till then we humans will keep suffering
