How many died could have done so much more <br />Removed from this sphere of light before opening the door. <br /> <br />Doctors, researchers, engineers; good people and then some <br />Thrown away, dicarded, killed; and more than one. <br /> <br />To have developed a cure, a solution, an answer and a quest <br />We have a day and a memorial; for destruction of our best. <br /> <br />Those who never had a chance to contribute their good <br />Thrown into the fire of man like a piece of wood. <br /> <br />In your time and mine we removed men who had a solution <br />Human bone and fiber with a brain; to cure cancer and pollution. <br /> <br />How smug for we keep saying, 'our children's future is the reason' <br />Yet we destroy them like the leaves that fall in every season. <br /> <br />Children are lost by the firing of a gun <br />We let them go to war one by one. <br /> <br />Young adults crippled through no fault of their own <br />Denied the years of family, love and that which comes from a home. <br /> <br />How dare we throw away what only God can give <br />Gifts not to destory but have their own life to live.<br /><br />AHO Speaks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waste/
