Anguish’s Siren

Our anguish is a siren, screaming – “care!”

The world is starving, sickened, deathly plagued –

Our anguished cries are those of all the world,

For we can feel our common, searing pain –

And tears then bring to us enlightened sight:

The world is drowned in selfish, careless shades,

Delusion, death, indifference – tumbling blind –

With great affliction, great awareness comes,

And greater urgent want for one to do –

To help to heal and act to make anew.
