A poem I wrote in September of 2010
Mankind
what's a matter with you
just what you gonna do
about all these problems
and all this pollution
would you kindly pause
long enough
to work on a good cause
instead of selfish stuff
Just who are you
the Devil
All you do
is works of evil
You know his name
Yet you're the one
should take the blame
for all you've done
to drive us all insane
with all kinds of concerns
and worries
Things need to take a turn
But you're not in a hurry
to be good problem solvers
for the better and not the worse
You've put upon our planet
one big gigantic curse
So take some positive action
before it is to late
So we can put food on our plates
that is good and healthy
not contaminated and filthy
You've made people sick and ill
Yet you don't want to foot the bill
Do you even have a clue
of all the things you need to do
We need more then hope
We need someone to care
Someone with a bright new scope
So if you dare
take on a new action plan
You know you can
Why is money more important
then the lives of people
Some things are big time wrong
all ya'll ding dongs
and ya'll business people
It was a preventable happening
All that Gulf coast flooding
after Hurricane Katrina
All those poor folks had to go
to the great big arena
It was one great big nightmare
But our government didn't seem ta care
to act fast to save those folks from
hunger, thirst, pain, suffering and death
plus all kinds of horrors they had to succumb
Thousands of people under threat
Many died and lost their lives
while others had to endure long hours
of heat and filthy water until help arrived
Isn't America is one of the super powers
Many a life ruined or lost
Higer ups didn't want ta pay the cost
People will never be the same
Thanks to those dark wet days
We need to love each other
hold hands and care
Just practise Goodness
would ya dare
