Weeps of the Underprivileged

My heart stops pumping As though it suffered a puncture I feel the earth quaking Resulting from neighing sounds, Sobbing voices completing The backup Tracing the tracks of the choir, An upsetting scene disables my sight Suddenly I'm drowning in soapy-sour waters of the poor Pouring from their eyes Turning my smile's up side down Then I looked upon their wet faces, It was a challenging thing To perceive the cracked, Dry lips signalizing hunger, Their unwrapped bodies Longing for clothing, with nowhere to go I felt myself not solution enough, But as I thought of other pieces, I saw the puzzle completed Together we bounced, And simultaneously we laughed It was time to weep no more It was time to enjoy evermore I saw no more families, But I perceived one big family For as though a compound, We were chemically combined Forming one solid rock Estopping emotions of the underprivileged
