As I Sat There Pondering
As I sat there pondering
The world around me crumbled
As politicians quarreled
Innocents have suffered
Ignorance shielded me
Held me from change
Kept me from truth
In pursuit of knowledge
In desperation for awareness
I was faced with reality
I am awake
I am enlightened
I am angered
I will never be the same
This poem is about:
Me
My community
My country
Our world
