What I See Poem by Makeda Browne

What I See



When you look at the sky
What do you see?
Do you see a cloud
Shaped like a tree?
Do you see God's angels
Flying over me?
Watching my steps?
Keeping me healthy?

Do you see the widowed mother
Struggling each day?
Do you see her children laughing
Heartily each day?
Do you see the poor guy
Who's been in an accident?
Do you see the medicant
Who cannot pay his rent?

Do you see the billionare
Who cares for not a soul?
Do you see the mine owner,
His pocket full of gold?
Do you see the starving child
Who's still being abused?
Do you see the world and how
It is being misused/

Do you see the violence
Do you see the crime?
Do you see, Because i see,
We're running out of time
Do you see the money spent
On careless little things?
Do you see the winter's mood
Is almost just like spring's?

Do you see how teenage girls
Get pregnant in a while?
Do you know the foolish words
Men use to make them smile?
Do you see the arrogance
I see in every man?
Do you see, oh do you see,
That 'The Time' is at hand?

Do you see, oh do you see
That we soon shall be gone?
Do you see God taking us
And Leaving all the wrong?
Do you see this poem
That you are going to send?
What do you see when you look at the sky?
I see this poem's end.
