Charles M. Moore - So many things

I saw the T.V sell me troubled times through tinted glasses
I saw the rockets fall and peoples worlds being blown to ashes
I saw the children cry and mothers weep when hope was lost
I heard the sirens wail as bankers added up the cost
I felt emotion hurt when families fled catastrophe
the overwhelming waves and floods cut to the heart of me
a falling man from towers grand gave desperation wings
a foreign eye up in the sky brings me so many things.

Charles M. Moore
