It Is What It Is

It what it is?
How can it be what it is?
These are humans,
These are living beings, 
Just like you and me!

How would you like it?
 if you were the ones.
You were the ones that were facing all the sins that you do against a fellow brother
Yes they are your brother
Yes they are sins 

Your father, God!!
We are His children
We are all brothers and sisters of one Father

That’s your brother
That’s your brother that you torture
That’s your brother that you sell
 
You cause pain and suffering 
You are immoral
You torture 
You stab 
You beat
Thousand and thousand times
Over and over again 
With no absolute remorse 

That's the sin of your hands and foot
But your eyes they sin the most 
The watch you do all that 
And they watch you 
Without a single blink 
why won't you blink 
you enjoy it 
you enjoy every bit of it 
you enjoy yourself
As you cause  pain beyond belief, 
Harm beyond belief,
torture beyond belief.

Beyond belief!
Absolutely beyond belief! 
Because no words are strong enough to carry the pain you cause
Not to an animal
Not to a toy
But to your own brother and sister

If you think you tape their mouths not to hear their screams,
I promise you they will follow you for eternity.

Each life you take 
Every pain you cause
Will follow you till judgment day 

It's a sad world 
A sad world indeed

Because you think you could get away with it
You are getting away it
Just like many others before you 
Just like many others now

If the Rohingya people in Myanmar are being massacred and fleeing, 
With a pope visit,
That spoke about peace without mentioning the massacre

Surely, if I was you I would think I could get away with it.
Perhaps, you might.
 
Don't be too sure because no one gets away with anything on judgment day
Each of you will pay 
All sins will be accounted 

It is NOT what it is !!!

This is the reality, we have to pay for all of our sins, everything whatever we did,we have to pay, we all are sons of Adams so we all are brothers and sisters, and it s really sad that the massacre wasn t mentioned, good luck and continue to write

How sad the pope did not mention the Rohingya people by name.. That is so sad that a man of his influence would ignore them... Although it is not the Christians causing the genocide.. Great post Antonia..

yes, Christians aren't causing it but they have a great influence worldwide and can help them, can end it! sadly no one is doing anything, not enough media coverage just people saying "oh no it is an outrage" it is but they are not outraged to do anything. thank you for reading :)
