Mucky Water

by Jacklyn   Jul 29, 2005


Wake me up another day,
When our bright sun is no longer covered in clouds,
When the rain disappears until its needed again.

No I change my mind, just let that rain come,
As it clears this impure world,
Just let God cry, as he tries to help once more.

Let God cry for ground zero,
Let him cry for the pentagon and field,
Let him cry for the double-decked bus and sub way lines.

Cry for Columbine High,
Let him Cry for Bath Michigan students too,
And please don’t forget Oklahoma.

Let your tears fall for the innocent,
Killed, injured, wounded or lost in shock,
For families who must take this at heart.

Cry for my generation and peers,
For teenage suicide is at it’s all time high,
Cry for the numbers of lost young sons and daughters.

Cry for the number of graves in the ground,
Cry for Iraq and Antietam,
And Gettysburg Pennsylvania.

Pour out your eyes for the south,
Who still holds racism in their hearts,
For the trade that changed the world,

Cry for the Vietnam and Civil war,
Would war one and world war two,
For all the wars where one has or will lose a life,

Cry for our heroes who died for us,
Fry for our heroes who survived living Hell,
For those who have mentally died for the bloody horror as they live physically in our world,

Please let me sleep, don’t wake me please,
So I don’t have to face this hateful world once more,
God please cry to wash us clean, as we stumble in mucky water way to deep to live.

    :] this poem has true meaning.. you really brought a new meaning to rain. America has many flaws and only god's pure tears can wash them away. amazing. i love the way you put it. awsome job
    and thanks for your comment and your opinion on "a candle" i can always use someone elses perspective.. the thing is it was sort of supposed to be repetitive and it also had sylables and stuff.. i made it to be a pattern. its confusing.. i think i even confused myself.. i did try reading it again without the "mays" and i might take them out.. so i might just reconstruct the poem.. when i get some time it does sound akward with all of the repitition thanks

    What a wonderful sad sad poem, amazingly written, good to see another from you, this was a real tear jerker and I feel my eyes welling up now, every event and bad thing, so very sad, the emotion is clear in this poem and I got a feeling of great loss and regret whilst reading it.. though I do not believe in god this was wonderful, the plea to god, the talking of his tears was fantastic.. beautifully written, hats off to you, this is a master piece

    I particularly enjoyed this stanza..

    "Please let me sleep, don’t wake me please,
    So I don’t have to face this hateful world once more,
    God please cry to wash us clean, as we stumble in mucky water way to deep to live"

    Brilliant work

    well done and take care
