'Maybe We Should Have Listened? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
I have heard this said… many a time before.
Yet we didn’t pay too much attention
When in a hole… we all did go.

We just kept… it seems on digging!
Digging that hole… our world now is in.
All for material gain and status
Masked in what really was mankind’s sin.

We can try real hard now to dig on out!
But those sandy sides keep on caving in.
We should have maybe paid attention to that good advice
And not have settled for a hole
The “HOLE” world is now living in!
