A POEM A DAY IN HISTORY



June 4, 2010

Oil that creeps beneath the seas
Silently yet relentlessly
Clouds of gray circling the earth
Symbols of Mankind's unworthy birth
The earth shaking giving us clear warnings
Yet are our leaders all are ignoring
In the search for self wealth
Religious leaders cry not for blessings
Nor for of true faith they are confessing
For world order they are regressing
For only in God should we be in trust
That they in greed destroy the very crust
As coming from the shadows of Ocean tides
a food supply dying that feeds world wide
Coming the death that reality no longer hides
Moving slowly relentlessly in a poverty wide
Soon disaster to be found in leaving tides
And in our time of need will be no choice of side
For in self need to our very soul we have lied
Somewhere above a oil winged bird is dying
And somewhere above the creator of all is crying
For what given to us his love we have been denying
