God Will Intervene

On the top of Table mountain, I am standing.
                 Raising  my head,  inhaling a deep breath,
                                  of fresh air .
                       Enjoying the sun rays on my face, 
                       Before I am spreading my wings. 
                  I have so much admiration for nature,
                         with all Gods’ splendor.
               High, green tree tops pointing to the blue sky,
                 While swallows and crows fly gracefully.
               And underneath, dassies carefree playing.

                    I flap my wings and start to fly.
                High, high above the mountain and trees.
                         Diving down to the city,
           Where I see homeless people, roaming the streets. 
                Scratching in bins for something to eat.
            Tears of sadness falling from my eyes, inside I cry.
                      Because some of us are lost.
                 No more humanity, as long they are rich.
            They don’t care about the poor and their dignity.

               I wish at the moment I could help them all,
                           But I know it is impossible.
                   Instead I am folding my wings, praying.
                                  God will intervene.
