Hope for Brighter Tomorrow

by Viola   Sep 17, 2007


In a poor and devastating small village
Is a mother unable to find food
For her new born baby

In the destructive streets of a war torn city
Is the father to two beautiful girls
Being taken away by a bullet

In a house located in a deprived neighbourhood
Is a woman being brutally abused
By a drunken lover

In a far away place of a third world country
Is a young child being used
For cheap labour in a factory

In a the dark alley hidden from view
Is somebody's sister being sold
Solely for her body

In a lonely cold hospital room
Is a child's grandmother being eaten away
By an incurable disease

In a beautiful house across town
Is a family being torn apart
By an unexpected suicide

In a secretly hidden building
Is someone's baby being held captive
By a cold hearted kidnapper

In the back room at a party
Is a teenager wasted on drugs
Not knowing how to break free

On a highway leading home
Is a car accident that instantly kills
Both parents of a two year old

In every person life, no matter where
There's a story of grief and despair

But there's also
The hope for a brighter tomorrow...
