'Wake Up', People Poem by Bernard Snyder
'Wake Up', People
There's a tragedy all around us
everywhere we seem to turn,
we hear of thousands of people being killed
tons of acres being burned,
we now have cruise lines constantly sinking
at such an alarming rate,
we try to get our answers on Sundays
but even our pastor is losing faith,
we're fighting in this crazy war
which I don't think we'll ever win,
we try to take our kids to dinner
but the prices at the gas pump keeps us in,
we now have Earthquakes ripping through China
Tsunamis and Cyclones burying Japan
yet your biggest fear of all is
the reality of America being led by a black man
'Spark Neglected can burn the house' revolves round the poem in every line. Friend, beautiful tone and rhyming scheme. I give marks 10.

A couple of years, the fear may have changed but the tragedy the pain of humanity is all the same. And maybe even worse, our nature's anger seem to be to be spreading all over the world today more than ever... Maybe we will get the message and start live as we should... A great poem good food for thought, beautifully crafted, thank you for share!
