What Is Happening Poem by Dianna Nally

What is happening to our country?
What are you people thinking?
We shouldn't be out there destroying each other
Our only hope of saving our country is by linking.

There is so much to live for
I don't understand why people want to die
I've lived in hard times, and suffered loss
But to me death still doesn't apply.

And do you really think it's right to rob another
Just because he has more then you?
I understand you want more for the children
But do you understand their watching and doing what you do?

Sure, you might be lucky enough to survive your ways,
But someday you may get that dreadful knock at your door
Then you will have to live the rest of your life asking yourself,
' was it worth losing my child for.'
