Humanity Rose

To great extent, people mean so much more In the jails we lock up males and females Nevertheless, people we must adore With human kindness let no one curtails People like roses are found far and near Among Asia and lands across the sea Petals are those families there to care And cherish those colours and names we see The mind becomes the interpretive dance As eyes behold the wonderful valley In Arkles Bay where treed do dance and prance Around those homes, children do play gladly As delicate as rose-petals unwind But tough as thorns which grow to guard the stem Yet beautiful mid shine and rain behind The rainbow, of love from us we give them Fragile is life, and round the globe lies strife Nature is stressed; oceans in deep motion Tsunami waves to cut with butcher'knife With vengeful ats, God's work of creation. As folks did eat beneath the Christmas tree Never a thought that plates would crash on floor Instincts made animals, birds to flee The leap-year tide did wash dead shoals ashore The day Tsunami washed away the ground By Bavy Jones a fraught with blood rage On Boxing Day beneath a sky so grey Mow growing poppies write their story's page What great sadness lingers in minds not clear The loss surpassed Ivan in Grenada This catastrophic blow still Ache's fear That sent after-shocks beyond Navada. The heavy rouirns plays on most CDs To cue the minds to graves with drab decor As fingers scratched for life amind debris They longed one more for blissful days of yore To keep this hope alive with will to strive Humanity rose with great devotion As people avross the globe took the dive They sent dough to souls with deep emotion Their cries of praise reached on high Jehovah For hearts of gold that eased the souls' laments To lands of the Asian Diaspora Life-water flows out of those gory tents.
