Time for Action

2002 Poetry

I hear the sound of sirens in the distance

Proving there are those that have trouble with coexistence

Even though it’s been this way since time began

Why can’t people respect their fellow man?



There are those who want to rob, steal, or cheat

Those with actions that are completely indiscreet

Worse are those who beat, molest, or kill

Nothing to show they are those of goodwill



If we have this trouble getting along with our neighbor

No wonder some nations want to rule with a saber

Worse than a man they engulf themselves with hate

And the weak of us want to deal with it by debate



It’s time we deal with these radicals of mankind

Otherwise we will keep falling further behind

With them gathering more and more power

Trying to make the whole world cower



Stand up and take action, it’s time for a stand

Time to take control and regain our command

Of this world we share and must all protect

Finally treating each other with love and respect
