What I See

What I see??!!
I see many massacres committed in this world
People everyday killed by the sharp sword,
Seeking behind only one word
Freedom. They could never live it but they wrote it on the board

How I feel??!
Many people suffer everyday with no meal
Children their little dreams people steal
Kidnapping, slaughtering their families, yes that’s real

When I look,
I see people legal rights that other’s took
That’s never mentioned in any Holy book
I see women’s tears 
Her husband and children’s death can’t bears 
I see bloods, carnage of martyrs 
And a strong look in their eyes explains no fear
Their only console is the scream that nobody manage to hear
They beg the world their chagrin to stop
But no one cares since we miss the glory that we had, and that made us in the top
I guess that our brains need a mop
No doubt something had happened to our minds
Or rather we pretend to be blinds
Or there are some ghosts threatening us behind 
Can’t we see people who die in the borders, in the cold?!!
Hopes, rights and dreams that had been cut with the human umbilical cord??
Or no one so far hadn’t you told?
Or rather it has gone the century where humanity is valuable more than gold.
