Thank You

Thank You... Sharon Moemise For the sun that burns unhealthily For the wind that blows continuously A baby's cry that knows no end A moment of silence that's heaven sent. For waking up from under a newspaper Rain pelting on a cardboard shelter The stench of city air pollution Music banging, chains rattling, much confusion A drunk staggering across the street An old man so tired, dragging his feet For a flea infested wall of homeliness Lives lived day to day, in darkness Squalid water dripping from a leaky tap A house pet under a tree for a quick nap For all kind of pain that cut like a knife Thank You Lord...for giving us life
