Wake Up and Smell the Blood

There is a light on my front porch I turned it on in memory Not just for the baby Caylee But for all of the children who die daily We mourn and cry and are justly outraged When we hear of such atrocities and read of them on every page But it is not just the children it is people of every age Senseless killing and blatant neglect Marriages and homes hourly wrecked But in satans world what else would you expect Watch out for number 1 cause no 1 is watching for you Respect is earned through violence and the brand name on your shoe The kingdoms of his world he offers over to you and in exchange you give your soul cause you've nothing better to do Desensitized and mesmerized by shiny things and fame We worship at his alter as his angels of light blaspheme Gods name We play and seek after every hypnotizing game Blind we are and blind we lead Not seeing not caring not hearing the pleas We talk and do nothing as the innocent continue to bleed 06 July 2011 5:30 AM

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Bobb. Love, Carol
