Frenzied

Volcanic eruption

corruption

unemployment

recession, depression

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan

 

Earth quakes

rumbles

Wall Street crumbles

Haitian children wail

tidal waves prevail

 

Global warming

fiction or warning?

Taxes, health care

how to handle

the next scandal

 

Hawaiian birth

takes precedence

over incidents. Coincidence?

Arizona immigration

discrimination

 

Oil spill

of gigantic proportions

contortions

in the Gulf

causing strife, ending life

 

Bomb in Times Square

where? not here!

just sit and sip your beer

watch the world go by

with a wink and a sigh!

 

Sometimes we are powerless

nothing we can do

our head in the sand,

don't understand

not care, or dare

to question?

 

What is our place

in this space

our destiny and fate

to help our world continue on

so our children can survive?

 

The world is spinning out of control

 

Iraq, Iran, Afganistan

Quakes, Rumbles, Crumbles

Global Conservation, Preservation

Distortions, Contortions

Bombs and Beer

Dare to Care

 

 

Frenzied
