Earth's Tragic Events

Contributed by Cynthia on Wednesday, 19th April 2006 @ 04:19:11 AM in AEST
Topic: Event



Earth's tragic events
Seem to crawl upon us,
Anniversaries of deadly happings
Spread across our atlas.

Today marks an anniversary
Of the San Francisco earthquake,
It happened back in 1906
The earth did violently shake.

The Titanic was deemed "unsinkable"
By her brave Captain,
Hit an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland
Her maiden voyage, came to an end.

The sister ship to the Titanic
Met her bitter end too,
Named "Gigantic," renamed "Britannic"
Struck a mine, sank, she was also subdued.

Then there was air disasters
The Hindenburg, should be mentioned,
Caught fire in mid air
The sky that fateful day, was blackened.

We have also been through
Two deadly World Wars,
Many people killed along the way
Something, the world couldn't ignore.

Earthquakes and hurricanes
Are to blame too,
Lives lost and still remembered
This world needs to be rescued.

Nuclear power plants
Blowing up and spreading deadly gases,
Twenty years ago today, it happened
People are still suffering in masses.

People following a person
Whom claimed he was Jesus' disciple,
Murdered innocent women and children
Thought he was the King of his castle.

A building blown up and defaced
By two insane people,
Small children in kindergarten perished
This world holds a hateful burden.

Kids taking guns to school
Thinking they're all that,
Killing fellow students and people who teach
Please, it's finally time to throw in the hat.

Planes crashing through buildings
By terrorists filled with hate,
A President fighting a battle for his father
Another war, it did create.

Bombs being placed on buses
Watch restaurants and skies ignite,
People's lives being short-lived
Relatives filled with fright.

Subways and trains being blown
All to kingdom come,
Lives being destroyed and ripped apart
This violence isn't welcome.

The ground shakes
Beneath the feet of miners,
Explosions and lives quickly taken away
Families filled with anger.

When will the hurting stop?
We all drop to our knees,
All we want in the world
Is human kindness and a lot of PEACE.
