A Wakeup Call To The World

A Wakeup Call To The World

By sally Michelle Jackson

The world all around has ignored us as if in slumber

Unaware that their friends and family are in our number

We are not chosen by desire or by station

Not by city, region, area or even nation

We can be anyone that you think that you have known

We don’t run about and shout we stay close to home

For while you look at us and voice disbelief

It sends us deeper withdrawn into our grief

The pain doesn’t come from the condition itself

No it comes from you and your fear for yourself

We mean no one harm

That’s part of our charm

We don’t ask for money or a hand out but only a hand

Just to live a life like any other is all we have planned

We are here and we look just like you

We could be a friend that you knew

But if not for the narrowest margin of chance

It could have been you in my circumstance

So each night as you lie all snug in your bed

Let images of others roam through your head

So spend a little less time all focused on what you can earn

And look all around for there is so much more for all to learn

Never judge a book by its cover so the saying goes

It applies to people in the same way and that shows

We are really the same when it comes to our minds

Our bodies have this problem of being different kinds

So learn to love people for what is inside

And no one will ever again have to hide

Great poem.

So spend a little less time all focused on what you can earn

And look all around for there is so much more for all to learn

Never judge a book by its cover so the saying goes

It applies to people in the same way and that shows

I really like this part.

So learn to love people for what is inside

And no one will ever again have to hide

I love this part.

The world all around has ignored us as if in slumber

The truth of your words ring out loud and clear.

Now if we could only teach some of those people how to read.
