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
