Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Yes , I Am Aware People Everywhere Are Dying

Yes , I am aware people everywhere are Dying

Yes ,  I am aware people all over the world are dying
So you may question the fact why am I not crying
You obviously then do not come from this place
We have not occupied the same air and space
As here we do not cry
We don't even try
To show any compassion 
Were more interested in the latest fashion 
And the stock market crashing

Doris Culverhouse August 6, 2010 at 5:50 AM deep thoughts, enjoyed--it is a natural thing to cry yet no one wants to cry and no one wants to see someone cry or show emotions.

Andrea Dietrich August 1, 2010 at 7:36 PM I guess this is what you would say to travelers here from outer space. Can you imagine if God made us to feel the pain of all those dying and hurting around us. Wow, we would be a mess!! A thoughtful poem! Luv. andrea
