Two Sides

If I could tell you what’s on the other side of the world Clearly there are stories hard to tell, hard to comprehend If you wished to know what’s on the other side of the world I think you need to know, you have to know Some say life is tough, plain and boring When it seems giving you everything you need You got a warm cozy bed and fancy cars to drive Still it’s not enough for you, it’s never enough for us You spend your time laughing, crying with your friends Talking about the best thing to wear, the next things to buy While some people are dying, crying and fighting for life Their freedom’s being taken, living in injustice; yet we less to know You spend hundreds of dollars to make you look like a queen On the other side of the world people are fighting like a killing machine Children losing their family, got nothing to eat, shivered in their sleeps Now who am I deserved to say that life is not fair for me Everything in this world has two sides The good and the bad, happiness and agony, peace and destructive It all for us to understand, it all for us to make a change This is not just the words saying, try to open your heart For not being greedy, not being prejudice Actually we all live in the same house called earth Being different is a gift blessed by heaven up above us It’s all knowledge for us to comprehend, living in diversity If only we all can change the way we think and behave For no war could never happened No poverty could never existed For no children will cry in their hungry faces If we all could reach them with a little bit of love If this is the end of time I wished that everything is going fine But if this life don’t give meaning to anyone So what we’ve done in here is such a waste of time Try to give, try to hold, try to love Try to be a little more empathy If we could heed, we could help, we could reach Then what we got is the world lives in harmony

You have won my admiration for the thoughts you express in this deep, insightful poem, Mony. Indeed, many of us are caught up in life's trivial pursuits as we neglect to realize there are people who need our help. "Try to give, try to hold, try to love." No one could say it any clearer. This is going into my favorites because it is a message I want to hear again and again. A wake up call for humanity. Thank you, Carolyn
