Alas . . .

Justice not served is like an oasis with no water Hope with no faith is like an atom with no matter Life without love is like a bird with no wings Silence without serenity is like a park with no swings Happiness without laughter is like a plant with no root Freedom with no democracy is like a leg with no foot Ambition with no dream is like a drug induced high And alas life with no spirit is like a land ith no heart
