May I Ask Why ~~Daniel J D~~ When the rain fails May I ask why Farmers come off the rails And the sheep in the meadow Weaken and die If danger's in the streets May I ask why A lost soul, miles from home In the forests of the Amazon Cries, in pain all alone Until, a helping hand stops the cry With crude oil on the reef May I ask why Birds cannot fly And fish float on their sides While the sands blacken with the tides As mountains lose their cover May I ask why People move over As saws cease to narrow Rainforests are no more And rivers have no tomorrow Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Daniel J D, this is a really thought provoking poem. Excellant write, not only do you ask the questions but you make the reader think, which is what of course what we should do. I really like this one, amazing work.  Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Many things done for the good of humanity are merely an exercise in corporate greed..James |

you ask all the right questions Daniel.. so many things seem so simply solved...by merely doing the right thing.. but right isnt always what makes money and for far too many in power...that is the bottom line. well done poem of conscience ..excellent imagery... take care jm |

Daniel~ To ask why is to seek a solution as well as an answer. Great poem! Deb |

Ethome, Marsha, James, Janet, Startime,Charisma, Serenity, and BloomingRose, Thank you all for your replies. The concern is that politicians these seem to only have a conscience when they need a vote, once elected they sign the papers allowing the major corporations to just do as they please. All of sick political systems exist in every nation. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
