Poem Title:
Poem
Sitting all alone on a dark and dead end street With trash and cigarette butts blowing at my feet Thinking about the goals in life that I didn't meet And the few promises made that I wasn't able to keep I then saw a man on the curb right across from me So I decided to get up to go see just who he may be He said "Well you finally came" on his face was a big smile "I've been waiting right here for you for quite a long while" Still not sure who he was I offerd my hand to help him up When he gripped onto my hand I felt my body become filled with love I said"Oh my Lord!" he smiled and said,"Yes it is me" "I'm here to show you a few things I feel you need to see" He started with a mother and child, living on the street Begging for a little change just to get some food to eat A polution filled sky with a bright sun no one could see With all these toxins in the air blowing and floating free A field full of dead animals with a stench of rot that filled the air All thrown there by children who killed them without even a care Sewage flowing into the water from which the people drink No one even caring about what's giving it that little stink A mountin size landfill that can be seen from afar No one even noticing it while passing in their car Then we stopped and he said, "Now listen to me my son," "I want you to fix some of these wrongs that the people have done" Not even sure of how or where it is that I should start I'm starting with these words that were placed within my heart Hoping to find other people in this world with feelings the same as me Who want to change some of these wrongs that we all neglect to see Dan Kearley:10-30-11 :o(
