Bill Simmons Poet Verse

When the World Cries

I have seen many things within my life 
And I wonder if we have learned a thing 
I saw man reach for the stars, place his foot upon the moon 
And I heard the whole world it sing 

I saw two brothers that the world so loved 
One became as King upon our eyes 
The one he fell upon the wayside of our lives 
As the other was taken too his life 

I saw a man, he taught and he preached 
He said, Please set my people free 
He too, he fell along the wayside of his path 
Now three times the world cried misery 

I watched a war where many they died 
So many, they lost their lives 
For the fourth time the world, this time cried fowl 
This war that was proclaimed a lie 

I saw their names placed down in stone 
For those that had given lives 
And I wonder if we have learned a thing at all 
And I wonder if this does make it right 

I watched a Princess live out her life 
I remember the night that she died 
Again the world it lost a love 
For the fifth time the world it cried 

I watched the Towers as the whole world gazed upon 
As evil, it brought the towers down 
Again so many they would lose their lives 
And again the whole world it cried 

I watched a man proclaim, I am a King 
You can't touch me, I have my own way 
Many they died while under his rule 
His ruthlessness and his evil ways 

I watched the night in the predawn hours 
Lightening made by man it filled the sky 
This time the world knew what must be done 
Still there were those that doubted why 

I watched as those stormed across his land 
And proclaimed evil must not survive 
I saw the Kingdom handed back to it's peoples hands 
But this time the world it would not cry 

We have all seen many things within our lives 
And sometimes wonder of the reasons why 
Sometimes the world it has it's need to cry 
But then sometimes we do get it right.
