What We Haven't Learned Poem by Ray Hansell

The world is full of sorrow
Everywhere we turn
You'd think after all these years
By now we would have learned

But it seems the more we see
It seems the less we learn
We just seem to shrug it off
As the world continues to turn

We all have a hand to lend
And smile we can share
To let people who need a hand
Know that some people do care

I wish I knew the answer
Or had the words to say
Maybe I could lead us all
To a more promising day
