Stop Complaining

The pain is for real, the pain exists within Yet others have exits within their reach Do we practice what we preach? The gap widens and deepens with each passing sun-set Let's bridge the differences we have Acknowledge that each is different on their own Learn to be thankful, for one can't afford a place Where their heads can rest Come to the streets and see the pain within A mother and her children sleep on the corridors of the shops With the passing cold on their skin They hug each other for family heat Since we ignorant for what we have We still find a way to complain things we can forgo So before you fold your tongue, make sure your mouth is closed Let your eyes see the pain and the struggles one goes through Their despair can be heard by a keen ear Only God knows their spiritual worries God comforts them with love that the world can't give us Before you complain show appreciation for the little you have
