Someone needs your help You gladly step forward Examine what has to be done Gather the tools and supplies Begin; take all the steps; finish Clean up mess and leave No one could tell you were there Laudation come with thanks The feeling you have is great You helped out someone in need You have made them happy You are filled with pleasure Time goes by Another element of concern comes up Could have drastic effects on our country This information is shared in a hospitable way Shared with many people Including the ones you helped earlier People you don’t know well are thankful The one you helped so willingly blows it off The feeling you have is subdued You were trying to help and make aware Some are thankful; some indifferent Your soul is not singing The world is a big place We know history We have all heard advice From leaders past and present When warned of a coming storm You take refuge and prepare Or those in doubt and uncaring Calmly go over the cliff with the sheep Stanski February 19, 2020 ^

BEING PRECISE
Precise words can turn people off One falls; another asks, “Are you hurt” The one who fell gets resentful No, I’m just learning to be graceful I was just trying to be helpful Mind your own business Everybody should Show no concern Hibernate Go hide Don’t get involved Do not be your brother’s keeper I don’t believe anything Whatever happens; happens Why didn’t someone warn us? Where are they when you need them? Now we are in deep trouble We should have been on guard Are you kidding me? We tried showing you You told us to go Closed the door Every side is evil Can’t believe anybody We will soon find out It is the President’s fault Where is he? Out on a rally Warning every one of the danger Too many ignored him Maybe they will wake up I hope they do in time We are sinking fast How long can we last? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Some day; one day Someone will set us free Stanski February 19, 2020 ^
