Save the World

posted in: Poems | 6

Save the world she said

And I silently said no

I can only speak my truth.

There are obstacles and storms

And a battery of words

Arrows being slung

Fortresses being built

People are out or they are in

And do not know which side is best

We do not look at the eyes

We do not see the soul

We search too often for the familiar

We say save the unborn!

And abuse and starve the living.

My heart breaks

But my soul must speak

Please, before its too late

Save the world.
