Array ( [sid] => 23725 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Hard Questions To Answer [time] => 2003-09-24 05:05:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Hard Questions To Answer

If a homeless person disappeared from the earth today,
Would anyone notice?

If a hungry person died of starvation,
Would anyone care?

If a child was being beat from the apartment upstairs,
Would anyone call the police?

If a woman was being raped in a old dark alley,
Would anyone try to help?

If a drunk was staggering along side the road,
Would anyone offer him a ride home?

If a man holding a sign “ Will work for food “,
Would anyone offer him a job?

If a friend was dyeing of aids,
Would anyone visit him in the hospital?

We become so concern with our own life
That we fail to see what’s happening to others
Even when it’s right in front of our nose.

These are questions that tend to be hard to answer
I know we would all like to think
That we would do the right thing
But would we really?

This poem took me pretty much
I know you are so very right
I know this all is true
Let us start ourselves
this is the only way
how to help to help this world.

The poem was wonderful, Scott..
aika.. :-)

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. Â©
