We have the news and television to make us all feel uncomfortable <br />Scared and paranoid of our world <br />Thousands of children die worldwide and we try to tuck it away <br />Poverty stricken and homeless citizens of a great nation <br />Become a ' burden ', targets of our indignation. <br />Yet, we forget this tragedy <br />And root for the next unmanned mission to Mars. <br />Become so patriotic for this waste of money, <br />Oh Yeah, lets not forget the millions paid out for an unpopular war. <br />It's a war hated by millions. <br /> <br />But come the day when strangers stop and help you <br />Good friends come by for coffee <br />And the chat about that last book read <br />Waking up to a beautiful day <br />Is the essense of life <br />The highlight of the day <br />Without friends we are just a shell.<br /><br />willow moon pearce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/simple-thought/
