Millions Died (Oblivious)

by Dark Savior   Mar 27, 2005


While you slept in your nice coushy bed
100,000 people lay in the streets dead

while you wake up and get your shower
another 10,000 passed in that hour

while you go out and get your breakfast
25,000 more died hungry and restless

while you sat on your comfy little couch
a boy eats his meal two berry's from his pouch

flies around his body even in his eyes
mother and father dies, but no one cries

you'll get up and go to the fridge, disgusted; nothing there
think about the millions who don't have One to be bare

so the next time you think you have it the worst
think of the millions in Africa who died of thirst

one million dead before the day
this poem is my homage i tried to pay

    Wow, that was deep. The words you used and how you described everything sent a shiver down my spine. It's strange, so many people don't think about what it would be like to have nothing. I'd say that the 6th stanza was definately the most powerful.

    I see nothing that needs changing ^^ Truly deserving a 5/5
