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
