So Many Things Poem by Charles M Moore
So Many Things
I saw the T.V sell me troubled times through tinted glasses
I saw the rockets fall and peoples worlds being blown to ashes
I saw the children cry and mothers weep when hope was lost
I heard the sirens wail as bankers added up the cost
I felt emotion hurt when families fled catastrophe
the overwhelming waves and floods cut to the heart of me
a falling man from towers grand gave desperation wings
a foreign eye up in the sky brings me so many things.
Ah, the wonders of technology. Would we be better off without it? Watching the world news is terrifying and heart-wrenching. Where is the GOOD stuff? I don't watch it anymore - I'd rather spend time on PH. Much more constructive. Linda
A very heartfelt piece Charles. The opening line is superb. None of the rhyme comes across as being forced and the flow of the piece is certainly kept going throughout.
A great insight into a tragic state.The wording is fantastic! Patricia
