.
Light of early morning greets me
I am alert and give thanksgiving
Looking out I witness calmness,
a very light breeze and quiet lake
Sunshine falls through the trees
There is beauty to behold
How lucky are we who live in
this enchantment?
What did we do to deserve this?
I think about the news of yesterday
There is trouble, hunger and anguish
Many are in despair; no place to go
Homeless and living on the street
with rats, fleas, feces, drugs and needles
Tomorrow will be a repeat of today for them
Dictators suppress their citizens
Citizens are hungry and dying
We look for the light
Leadership that seems to be lost
A press that is very quiet
There will be a day of reckoning
We have been taught
The answers are know
Neglect in never acceptable
How long will we wait
