Any One of Us

Within the eye of the needle through the eye of the storm in the eye of this beholder everything's gone wrong Matthew wrecks havoc many innocent die we're too wrapped in nonsense and turn a blind eye Children are weeping with no shoes on their feet and our headlines read Ms. Beauty had too much to eat Where is our compass, our compassion, our love What happened to values and teachings of above I bow down my head not in prayer but disgust what if that little child was any one of us I beg and I plead don't turn a blind eye give all of your heart and hear a fellow man's cry

Tim, I feel so out of it. not watching the news lately and don't even recall if I heard about this hurricane. I know there was one very recent somewhere! This is a great rhyming poem to help us know what really matters in this life. Yeah, too many headlines devoted to spoiled rich people!
