Scream Around The WorldA Poem by ZallWill our world ever be able to feel, hear, and see the terrors that happen to our brothers?Scream Around The World Have you
ever felt the need to scream? Just
scream and scream until you have no voice? What if,
if in that scream, the world stopped? If every
time you screamed the world stopped and listened? Like the
shot that was heard around the world, Your
scream would be heard by all and their hearts would be saddened, Until the
scream faded away into the air people would weep, Weep for
whatever was troubling you and heart. What if
the world were really like this? Where
everybody could hear and feel the pain of everybody else? Then would our society care for old
man and his dog on the corner begging for food? Then would our country care that our
brothers are fighting in a war that will never end? Then would our world realize that we’re
destroying a world that is not ours? Then would our world realize that this
Earth is not ours, but mealy lent to us by the universe? Then would people finally realize that
we’re all the same, that we’re all equal and of the same? Then would we finally feel? Will this
world ever feel sympathy? Remorse? Regret? Shame? Not until
we feel the pain, hear the screams, and see all the terrors that happen to each
of our brothers. Then, and only then, will we be at
peace. © 2010 Zall
