And the World Wept

And the World wept when refuge stories were told with more than one million in camps but were the tears genuine? And the world wept young nation of South Sudan citizens de-humanized by ego-wars but were the tears genuine? And the World wept aid given, words of hope served on tables of those with lost hopes but were the tears genuine? And the World wept at the images of starved refugees powerful speeches, rolling tears but were the tears genuine? And the World wept billions collected for refuge charity Tear-filled charity for stolen lives but were the tears genuine? And the World wept Did Africa weep with the world? Does Africa stand on two legs in trials? But are the tears genuine? Donations and pledges, thank you But will tears, charity redeem hatred?
