RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CATASTROPHES
Mass Casualties
A massive earthquake strikes Turkey and Syria
And all our earthly differences vanish
Like shadows in the sun
The horror goes to the heart of being human
Thousands of living beating hearts no longer beat
Hundreds of children cry out for mamas that are no more
Mothers screaming for mercy
Fathers beating their chests
As if anger could raise the dead
Tears of the living
Blood of the buried
May all who are able answer the call
May all who are willing lend a hand
This is a time of need
A time when all else recedes
We are conscious being sharing a small planet
Now more than ever we are in this together
We have the same dreams
We breathe the same air
In times of need we care
