Eye In the Sky

Eye in the sky Sharon Maria Moemise Witness to the days of slavery and segregation To where nations gathered, begging to be heard Seeing the tears from our planet's lamentation For wrongs that won't be righted on dear Mother Earth Bloated babies, parents bemoaning their demise Fat cats watching, rolling in ill-begotten wealth Mothers weeping, young girls' deflowered, despised By monsters who sow the seeds of disease and death Gun- toting tots trained to maim and murder their own Starvation and death feeling like the only way out of a world owned by thugs where devil seed is sown While feasting on drugs, murder and mayhem While I look around at the destruction of Gods creations Plundering and damage caused by human invention I yearn for a moment's indulgence of heaven's purity Without being burdened by thoughts of life's insecurities Eye in the sky looking but hardly seeing the sufferings of babies born in the streets, mothers begging for a place To lay their heads and to ease their children's crying shouting in agony, weeping in mourning for the human race
