Stand And Watch
My eyes are bleeding
with endless sights
hunger, poverty, homelessness
but I just stand and watch
My nose is clogged
with horrid smells
filth and death
but I just stand and smell
My ears are thundering
with sounds unheard of
guns, cries, and sorrow
but I just stand and listen
My mouth is filled
with things that don’t want to be tasted
blood, dirt, and the mud
but I just stand and taste
My hands are trembling
with the knowledge I know
the world is dying
but I just stand and tremble
My heart awakes me
and walks me towards
the no man’s land
there I watch, listen, and smell
Then I begin to see
the help that I need to provide
and my heart and mind
work together to save
The World
