Above Myself

(3/30/12) Sitting at home watching t. v. When something took control of me I felt as if I was floating on air I had no worries , I had no cares. I saw myself staring down at me And asking myself : how can this be ? Then I heard a strange voice over my head saying “ you’re alive - you’re not dead” There is a place that you must go This is a place that I must show. He took my hand and up we went I felt as if it was heaven sent. He showed me a country ravaged by war And bodies were strewn all over the floor. He showed me families living in shacks Under terrorists attacks He showed me children walking the streets Looking for water and something to eat. He showed me women being raped And a terrorist putting it on tape. He said : this is the point that this world has come to And there is something that I must ask of you “ we need these voices to be heard We need you to spread the word” Then he took me back to where I began For this was all part of GODS plan. He wants all of us to do what’s right This should be our only fight. “Now I see and understand that we must do all we can.”
