Sometimes I have to cry
Feb 23rd, 2008 by ShaunO
Till the earth until we die…
War in the middle east today,
and,
I don’t know why.
Oxen strains plough shears through the sand…
Starving children in Africa today,
and…
I just don’t understand.
Patter the clay, new home,
brick by brick…
Money men killed another forest today,
and…
I feel sick.
Drought this year,
earth scorched bare…
More space junk in the sky today,
why…
don’t I care?
Stable the horses from the driving rain…
Youths murdered an old lady today…
I can’t describe…
The pain.
Sunsets golden,
another day goes by,
human kind kills itself…
With greed…
and,
sometimes I have to cry.
