From the top of the world he stared <br />At all the pain and the strife <br />The rich the poor the good the bad <br />The ones searching for a life <br /> <br />The big man with all his money <br />The poor wanting to survive <br />The broken hearted walking wounded <br />Just wanting to stay alive <br /> <br />The wars between the greedy <br />All the crime going on within <br />A shake of the head, a sigh in pain <br />As a tear rolls down his chin <br /> <br />Bombs dropping in a distant land <br />Gruesome smell of death in the air <br />Why do we do this? ..What is going on? <br />It's all so damn unfair <br /> <br />Buildings that collapse from the war we wage <br />So much precious land tore to shreds <br />Homeless people walk through our streets <br />Just wishing they had a bed <br /> <br />It's not supposed to be this way <br />All the violence has got to cease <br />Please pray for a way to stop it all <br />And let us have world peace<br /><br />Tim Rawson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/looking-at-it-all/
