We Weep Together In the Rain - Pick Any Line Contest

The inhumanities of others 
brings tears  to our eyes
Watching the scenes on the screen 
When the newscaster is wanting to cry

Children crying in torment
In pain reaching out for aid
Suffering not in silence
for what  price have they  paid

We weep together in the rain
Each to their own shower to cry
same prayers, same shame of humanity
Same torment  in our eyes

We are tormented because we cant
Useless because we would
Politician we can  chivvy
Make peace, if only  we could




We weep together in the rain - my Katherine from Wales -by Arthur Vasso

I love your thoughts on peace, if only it would come to be real, that would be wonderful! But the pain is real right now, the suffering of war is so great it's hard to look at it all! I really loved reading this enlightening poem this evening! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!
