Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii
My Poem of 2009-10 resubmitted for new members of Poetry Soup.
Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii
.
Wake up before it is too late
Wake up before the misdeeds with Nature
Takes away with them, the best
And the most beautifully nourished and preserved
Our priceless and most precious wealth
The ice from Mountains, Glaciers

The darling children

Wake up and hear the silence
How long do you think
you can ride the coattails
of blissful ignorance?
Isn't it flagrantly obvious that
you are skating on thin ice...
and equally evident that
you're living on borrowed time?
How long do you think
you can get away with avoiding
the elephant in the room?
Have I been the unjaded enabler
whilst my silence should have screamed
to you louder than any multitude

WAKE UP!!!!
In the echoes of the night the one lonesome sound of a train not knowing where it’s bound
It rolls on past the towns the rivers and the bends around corners unseen
As danger lays in wait anticipating contemplating its next move along the cold steel rails that’s bound for heaven or bound for hell only

if you wake up with a stick
if you wake up with a stick in your bed you have a dog
if the stick is chewed into eighteen pieces you have a puppy
if there is no stick you either do not have a dog
or your husband has pica

Wake Up
Wake up
Stop dreaming
Hear the birds chirping
Thank God for the blessings
Each breath is a gift
Breathe in
Focus on your role
Hit the core with a heart of gold
Stay low-key, no time to envy
Seek discipline
Kneel to the Man who never sinned

Wake Up!
Wake up.
Wake up!
I tried to pry my eyes open.
Wake up.
I clawed and clawed at my open eyes.
I could not wake.
Why could I not wake from this nightmare?
Wake up.
I stopped fighting.
I could feel it coming back.
Everything came back.
It played before my eyes once again.
Over.
And over.
And over

Wake Up!
Each eyelash lifted
With the leverage of purity.
Wake up,
Not just in the morning.
Always, is the answer
You’ve been searching for:
OK. then,
Why are you always asking?
There is only one answer:
Now!
You are only here for this,
So…
Wake up!
That’s all there is to it.

Wake up wake up
Children of God
It is now a new day
That our father brought
For us
So we must wake up now
Children you need to play
Outside during the Summer
With other kids in your
Neighborhood
Because you have lots
Of energy
And you need to use your
Energy
Playing all day outside
Soon today
Our father will
End this day
The sun will go
And you will see
The sunset
Shining

One morning, you wake up and feel that it's gone
One morning, you wake up and feel that it's gone,
A friend, a love, a dream you swore you would always keep.
At first, you reach out to grab it, believing that maybe, if you hold on tight enough,
It will come back, but it doesn't.
You struggle with the absence, begging it to stay,
But life makes no bargains

WAKE UP
How can we conceal the idea of being a powerful race
When the identity of our ancestors is right in our face
We need to look in the mirror and see who we are
The reflection that stares back shouldn't leave you scared
It should open your consciousness and energize your mind
To a point of gravitation with endless time
To

I want to wake up
what's this insanity
we're living in a nightmare
that can't be true
i'm dreaming ~ it just can't be
why the chaos
why the hate
can't we just shake hands
make peace and get along
i tell myself that
reason will prevail
but as each day rolls by
the rift gets deeper
the tally is horrendous
and leaves me breathless
i wonder how bad it has to get
before it

I wake up with you in my thoughts, but you are just a memory weaving its spell
I wake up with you in my thoughts, but you are just a memory weaving its spell,
why do you still seem so real, like a shadow that refuses to fade at dawn?
The sun kisses the sky a pure blue, spring birds sing their trills,
and the Palash flowers open their petals, like a living fire in

Wake up
Just because
you go to church,
doesn't assure you a place in heaven.
It's how we live our lives that counts,
rather than praying
to be forgiven.
