When Will We Ever Learn Poem by chas garcia

When Will We Ever Learn

Rating: 5.0


When will we ever learn, how many times man turns his head, pretends he does not see? war destruction, touches everyone. Through out the world, not in my backyard I am told, Prayers to be said, as we are to bury our dead. husbands, fathers, sons and daughters, some before they wed.When will we ever learn the whole world is of our concern?
How many ears must one man have, to hear the people cries? *
How many eyes do we need to recognize that all is not fair?
For the air we breathe, the tears we share are all salty and the same.
as we be no longer miles away.as we stare into the faces of those that have cried, How many deaths will it take, when we already know how many have died, As we all is tied together as on a piece of string, all tied up in a life of sin. as our sisters, brothers, husbands loose their skins, Effects all of our lives from within, the answer my friend is lying in the wind, *United States no longer as a Nation envy all, no longer respected as the terror lies within our walls,
Who is to say our way is right? What are we to do? All in the name of oil, could it be true? The answer is lying in the wind.reach out, for the time will come when we all as brothers, will be holding hands once again.

How many ears must one man have, to hear the people cries? * How many eyes do we need to recognize that all is not fair? For the air we breathe, the tears we share are all salty and the same... a time will come when we all go together hand in hand as real brothers and sisters......... thank u for your noble ideas and your perception of the present situation. thank u. tony
