Pain in life.

by Andrew   Apr 18, 2008


I sit down and stare,
at this life we live so rare,
in this world that's never square,
a world thats one big perfect sphere.

I stand up and stare,
at this life that's never fair,
those who have dont want to share,
and to those who lack the always sneer.

Up and around this streets i stare,
down this haunted streets where i was reared,
here another soul met the gunmans fire,
and yet nobody ever seems to care.

Deep in this lonely house i stare,
little children thin because food they lack,
their mothers sit in pain by their husbands they got struck,
their mud houses falling apart from all corners they begin to crack.

Up and about in this sky i stare,
nothing more i hear than a young mans cry,
another heart broken because a loved one dies, somebody please save us from this hole that we lay.

    Oh god! well we are all aware for what's happening in africa and it's a sign for those who dont believe that life is unfair.
    The poverty the wars all these harmful things must be solved as soon as possible then I'm sure all this pain will fade away... I know it's quit hard to fix this situation but all we got is to pray...
    Anyway I really love the way you described the situation in your country it shows how painful the situation is, and your words helped me to feel things that I have never felt... keep it up... hope things will get better!
