Hear the Weeps-
LISTEN TO THE CRIES OF THE CHILDREN;
LISTEN TO THE PLEAS OF THE MOST WRETCHED;
HEAR THE DISTRESS OF THE REJECTED.
WATCH THEM WEEP!
AND SEE THEM DIE……
I WATCH AND PRAY
HEAR AND WEEP FOR THEM…
WEEP..WEEP.. AND WEEP…
THESE ARE FELLOW BEINGS
WHO ARE IN THE FOLDS OF THE WORST!
HERE THEY ARE IN SUFFERING IN SUDAN
BOMBS BLASTING…
LAND MINES KILLING…
FAMINE GRIPPING..
DROUGHT DESTROYING..
AND HUMAN BEING KILLING EACH OTHER..
AND EACH DAY.THE CHURCH LAMBASTS THE SITUATION;
FEARING TO FACE THE REALITY…
THE CHURCHES KEEP GROWING..
AND THE DEPRESSED KEEP LAMENTING..
AND FROM THAT, THE PALACES GROW
IN BROHERHOOD WITH THE CHURCH
WHO IN THEIR TEAM EXTORT FOR GROWTH.
AND NOT A POOR SOUL IS FREE, BE HIM THE POOREST.
WORDS OF HONEY KEEP FOOLING HIM ,EXTORTING..-
NOT ONLY IN AFRICA ARE THERE WEEPS,
I WATCH THAT TOO IN THE MIDDLE EAST
PEOPLE DYING..[WEEPS]
PEOPLE THINNING..
PEOPLE REJECTED.
[WEEPS]
WHEN WILL BE THAT TIME FOR JOY?
WHEN SHALL MAN HOLD MAN IN THE HANDS?
WHEN WILL THERE BE PLENTY FOR ALL?
WHEN SHALL MAN SMILE CANDIDLY WITH MAN?
WHEN IS THE EQUALITY…? [WEEPS]
AND IF I BECOME GREAT FROM POETRY
I SHALL MAKE THEM KNOW NO SUFFERING..
AND CURDLE THEM AS BROTHERS DO….
SO THAT FOR THE GOOD OF MAN I SHALL FIGHT…
OH! I WEEP FOR THEM…
AND FOR THE SITUATION OF GOD’S EARTH…
