If I was a great bird
an Eagle flying high
looking down upon
the world with a tear
drop in my eye
The damage done by
man, an altered state
of arrogant decisions
driven by greed
Do we really see it?
The poverty
The crumbling cities
The homeless
The politics
The crime
The police
The guns
The media
The parents
The children
The teachers
The food
The water...
PERSPECTIVE
is matter of opinion
we take for granted
as we look away
and walk on by
oblivious in our
own small world
of common issues
WE need to be better
as a people
starting with ME
I need to be better
and remind my
children what is
truly at stake.
