I saw the T.V sell me troubled times through tinted glasses <br />I saw the rockets fall and peoples worlds being blown to ashes <br />I saw the children cry and mothers weep when hope was lost <br />I heard the sirens wail as bankers added up the cost <br />I felt emotion hurt when families fled catastrophe <br />the overwhelming waves and floods cut to the heart of me <br />a falling man from towers grand gave desperation wings <br />a foreign eye up in the sky brings me so many things.<br /><br />Charles M.
