Poem inspired by this song...the answer to her questions of, "What's going on?"... "(What's Up?)""... the answer is;
"Just Hang On!"


Just Hang On!

I wake up each morning and I start to implore
Realize I'm in this big brotherhood of men
We all call Earth

Some still cry, feel they don't belong
Others just trying to get along
Most hoping to get by

Some of us working to improve our lives
We pray, but still tend to get down
So we ask you, to tend to us
Oh! dear God!... I hear you cry,
Jut hang on!

I think many of us just hang on. Even those who profess to be far above that sort of thing. Thought provoking piece.

Puts me strongly in mind of Henry David Thoreau’s quote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

Great poem and a great song , maybe we need more than hanging on maybe we need a revolution of love. The song made a fusion with your words that is what I see now whole people of the entire earth stand up to hold each other's hand. .Love and Peace.. Thank you dear friend, I know now that all I do is also only hanging on.

"I hear the silence of the stars, / Whose vastly bright and powerful energy of light / Has become cold and powerless, // By the time it touches me." // Lines from one of my poems, still in progress. // Your poem is well written, full of feeling, and sonorous. Yet it makes me feel so sad, somehow. I don't really know why. --Michael
