    Poem Commentary

    What can I say, I got upset after watching the news.

    Are You Listening?

    Is there anyone out there?

    Are you listening to the children

    On the streets?

    Are you watching the murder

    And robbery out in the world?

    The crime of the century

    Is to not pay attention

    Allowing this to happen and

    Not doing anything

    Homeless on every corner

    In front of every building

    Blood shed on every street

    And in every alley

    Rape, pillaging… when will it end?

    It doesn't end. It's difficult to be a positive part of an imperfect world.

    When we are no longer making excuses for our humanity and hold ourselves accountable

    most sit back and watch, we need more doers in this world and maybe one day it will make a dif.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
