[hometext] => I know I probably left a lot of things out, but I wrote about the events that tore my heart in two.
[bodytext] => Earth's tragic events Seem to crawl upon us, Anniversaries of deadly happings Spread across our atlas. Today marks an anniversary Of the San Francisco earthquake, It happened back in 1906 The earth did violently shake. The Titanic was deemed "unsinkable" By her brave Captain, Hit an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland Her maiden voyage, came to an end. The sister ship to the Titanic Met her bitter end too, Named "Gigantic," renamed "Britannic" Struck a mine, sank, she was also subdued. Then there was air disasters The Hindenburg, should be mentioned, Caught fire in mid air The sky that fateful day, was blackened. We have also been through Two deadly World Wars, Many people killed along the way Something, the world couldn't ignore. Earthquakes and hurricanes Are to blame too, Lives lost and still remembered This world needs to be rescued. Nuclear power plants Blowing up and spreading deadly gases, Twenty years ago today, it happened People are still suffering in masses. People following a person Whom claimed he was Jesus' disciple, Murdered innocent women and children Thought he was the King of his castle. A building blown up and defaced By two insane people, Small children in kindergarten perished This world holds a hateful burden. Kids taking guns to school Thinking they're all that, Killing fellow students and people who teach Please, it's finally time to throw in the hat. Planes crashing through buildings By terrorists filled with hate, A President fighting a battle for his father Another war, it did create. Bombs being placed on buses Watch restaurants and skies ignite, People's lives being short-lived Relatives filled with fright. Subways and trains being blown All to kingdom come, Lives being destroyed and ripped apart This violence isn't welcome. The ground shakes Beneath the feet of miners, Explosions and lives quickly taken away Families filled with anger. When will the hurting stop? We all drop to our knees, All we want in the world Is human kindness and a lot of PEACE.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
