Cause of My Smile

Cause of my smile I stand here for many days alone And enjoy the rays and the cool breeze that falls upon But I become very sad seeing on My brothers and sisters are being cut down around By bombs and missiles by some odd and cruel men; Just the day before a sister of mine Was shot down by a monster Zion He was scolded and his action was condemned By a man of humanity whose good name is John But for the other cases of rape and murder around the world Humanity gone into bins And to prevent the heinous crimes there is none; In the wee hours Today came a smart girl A young lady may be she is about twenty two or twenty three Before I know anything she took nine pictures By her Nippon camera with a smile and that too is for free; Perhaps one day like my brothers and sisters, I will die With smart bombs and tamarack missiles But today I have enough reasons to be happy And on my round face to have a big smile As someone inside me has seen a tinge of my folded beauty.

The world really is in a state of horrendous crimes being committed. One brief moment of respite for you ~ having someone to take your picture, and you smile despite the horror around you. There IS hope. Thanks for posting this, wahab.
