World Consider.
By Buchan
20 June 2006
Look at the world and all its injustice and sickness.   Should we take no notice?

                               World you hear but never ever listen
                                Please see all people who are blind
                                Eating stake when others eat fruits
                                Many hungry.Many sick ,without hope


                                World always taking from the children
                                 Man sipping a glass of cool spring water
                                 Total perception without a view in sight
                                 Happy with a lot,not a little,time and kindness


                                 World look,people lost in jungles of forgetfulness
                                 Time moving like a granite clock,that has stopped
                                 All without thought,without purpose and light
                                 The population cries for all the oppressed.

Hi Buchan 
 
A sad poem, that strikes very deeply at what is really happening today. Despite all our advancements in so many fields, we seem to be taking too many steps back. I felt that you captured that feeling very well...especially in the line: 
 
World always taking from the children 
Man sipping a glass of cool spring water 
Total perception without a view in sight 
 
Well done 
 
best wishes

Hello Buchan, 
What a sad poem, but so true. People see what they want to . Total perception without a view in sight, thought provoking well written last line. elly.
