Wake Up Call

All around this soiled land
evil has left it's mark on man.


Read the news watch a show
depression grips you really slow.


Children hurt in every way
they no longer want to play.


Work the fields eat healthy food
do you know what's eating you?


Working hard for the American dream
one drop of ink moves you to the streets.


Walking wounded circling around
hypnotized by lies and doubts.


People need to wake up soon
living on Mars is no substitute.


Ruin this world while living your life
now you think you can run and hide.


Better snooze and lose some other time
get involved help to save mankind.

Poignant Line Zenith..
indeed we need to wake up..however somewhere deep within I still believe that all is well..it seems that the forest is lost for the tree...we have a saying here in Croatia..when a tree falls there is much NOISE during in its fall... but no one sees the forest growing..it flourishes QUIETLY!

Insightful write..Ty
