Getting It Right Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Getting It Right



A world in mourning.
A world in shock.
So many lives lost.
The enemy that lives in air in which breath.
Companies and people taking advantage of a horrid situation.
Greed that blinds those living amoung the dying.
Others giving up everything for just one more person to save.
The ultimate scarifice my life for yours.
The stuff of legends, how the best stories are made.
A reality in which now we ease.
Playing catch up from day one.
Wanting someone to blame.
The truth doesn't matter, in this political climate.
The number is too large, hiding behind the unsympathetic words intended to bring about more hate.
Trying to divide instead of searching for a way to stym the tide.
The free ride is over, want to lead, earn it or get out of the way.
A new kind of revolution.
One that supports only those who don't hesitate.
Sometimes severe actions must be taken.
Feet held to the fire with consequences dire.
Pulling out teeth with a rusty set of plyers.
Stuck with the tools are given.
Hopefully the choices we make in such haste can be forgiven.
The greater good.
Never thought I would see it on such a large scale in my life.
But now that I see it, I do not envy those in that political postion.
I would have endless nightmares.
No time to prepare.
A sick society in despair.
Closed off, walls built, temporary isolation that is to be celebrated.
But question what is the correct timespan for temporary.
With the experts positions varying.
One can only hope they get it right in such a dim light.
