I Heard That Something's Going On Poem by Julie Smith

I heard that something's going on
I heard the fire alarms shouting and the wheels rolling fast
I heard the sounds of thunder and the truck stop lights blinking
I heard there's something going on that could drown my whole world
With a rain warm and burning from the passion retrieved
The black waters going to run clear again
I heard the rumours on the street corners passing
Steady and strong the floods burst the prisons
And the free ones reflect while standing on the mountain top
How one jump can indeed save your life
And the skies they rise and the tears flow back in my eyes
Because there's something going on
That I like
