Poem Title:
Poem
They fled their land to find safety instead, they found cruel life wherever they lived They've lost everything because they're that way Their aspirations crumbled and they lost all their aspirations. Something I strive to be among the shattered in honor of the broken Thinking about all tears that would be shed their world caves over them their optimism turned into terror. I wish to be with splintered people the face-to-face challenge, people the unseen, unheard, uninvolved The type who strives to lurk in shadows couldn't you trust me? Why do they need not be alone? Why must they weep to sleep? All hope is lost to them only darkness prevails Alas, act in a purely unfazed manner not having everything handy They attempt to comprehend. leaving from one paycheck to another cheering and clapping sans graceful motions. They weep until their eyes dry. entirely on their own, they can only wish for brighter days. when they could find solace As their emotions hardened into stones. I am neutral about skin color or their perceived sin or their need to be flawless to win I start with sight and sound despite aspects or ground should never be, where they're found. Modern stupidity in innocence stupidly that shoves them to survive Fair pretense and pure all illuminating blind minds Luminousness of noble ideals may aid the underprivileged or bless, the broken-hearted. To heal their wounded souls to bestow hope to the desperate to promise salvation to wipe away their tears. I am overwhelmed by such a plight who can grasp their insight? or even sense being near the site they may offer love I could not bestow. Ultimately, we are all flawed suffocating, we stagger costumes and snob jokes Victims of other people's poking no one's heart is empty. Complexity creeps into our minds may rush if others approach each unspoken and broken For the sake of finding excluded role hiding cruel passion ridding Need to see well where you're sitting?
