Frozen

Halt!

Stop! 

Wait!

Pause!

What words must I say to get you freeze?

Take a look around at the world, dont you see whats wrong?

We can not say the fault is not ours when we watch everything and say nothing.

Freeze!

Look at the ice as it melts and melts. Looks at the girl running screaming “help help!”

Look at the boy saying “ Who do I look up to now?”

Look at the mother working the double.

Look at the father while he turns away.

Don't you see they are crying for you?

How long must we wait?....Have you left us?

Do you see me?! Look at me!! 

Im here! I need you!! 

We need you! 

Freeze! 

Stop! 

Please….Wait

Father help us. You may not be frozen but we are.
