Awake the Soul
Location
have you ever looked up at the sky
and taken in the true size of it all
or hiked up a cliff
and stared at the drop below your feet
we build towns and buildings
and cars and streets
to fit our needs
but when you stop
and look
at the world around us
you realize that it was not built for us
how selfish we are to
think the world is ours
poetry awakens the soul
to the truth we hate to face
