Not All Wounds Are Visible

Not all wounds are visible
My people has been wounded enough
Because they keep on holding on 
To the old ways 
Till now we suffer same things from the past 
No wonder we keep suffering 
Cos the people that are meant 
To represent us 
Are the main reason we became
Economic wounded
Resources wounded
Poverty wounded
Growths wounded
Morally wounded
I wonder what more inflation
That can be inflated on us 
Cos we have seen 98 percent of pains
We are not scared of 2 more


Not all wounds are visible
Despite all hardship we pass through 
We cover our pains with smiles 
Despite all the troubles we face 
We calm ourselves down with peace
We understand the importance
To maintain love among each other 
Their is no other better way 
If we don't support one another
We can together be a blessing
To the world
Or inflate pains on ourselves
And create wounds we can't heal so quickly

Richard, a heartfelt poem. Your people shouldn't be place in pain or hardship. The saying I hear so often, " the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer" so it seems it is like this all over the world. Enjoyed reading, but it hurts my heart you and so many have to endure. May many blessings come your way.
