Big Problems Small Solutions

Big Problems Small Solutions

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

all must be faced

"
When we felt the ground shake
did it mean the end had come
Many urgent repeated warnings
will be heard by only some
 
The alert sound we are given
should tell us what to do
That is why it was sounded
so our losses would be few
 
Should some fail to follow
what the leaders have said
They may not be savable
becoming casualties instead
 
It is hard to face the truth
when your end may arrive
But nature's wrathful actions
means many will not survive
 
What everyone needs to know
we live in a world not our own
Survival here is temporary
as history has clearly shown
 
Time in this universe
is a measure not understood
We must spend our time creatively
finding actions that are good
 
Its not necessary to look far
for something we have to do
Our own health requires attention
and you know this is true
 
Taking care of own problems
will make us be more alert
Help shared with family and friends
doesn't require an expert
