Our World

Our World

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

in the universe

"
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 our 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 well understood
If we spend our time creatively
our efforts can do something good
 
 Its not necessary to look far
for helpful things to do
Our own health will also benefit
and you know this is true
 
Taking care of own problems
should help us be more alert
What we do for family and friends
doesn't require being an expert
