The World We Inherited

There is so much pain around the world: A burqa clad young girl returning from college Riding a scooter, attempts to reach home sooner But a huge truck rams her flimsy ride and she is torn Into two. She calls home and tells them she is going away! A sad young father with a babe in arms is boarding a bus To return home from the free hospital to which he had taken His baby for treatment. He finds he is unable to pay the fare: His pocket is picked. Thieves waste no time on compassion. There are cases of babies seized from despairing moms. They mourn a world where they say:”Man eats man!” Women going to work lauding their gold chains Are assaulted and their precious ornament seized In a moment by well dressed thieves who come Riding, chain snatching and fleeing on motor bikes!
