For A Better Tomorrow


         there's little sunshine these days,
       and despair blows like a cold wind. 
             It rains, and rains, and rains. 
     state of affairs go from bad to worse. 

 Innocent souls perish in a war-torn nation. 
  the fog of hopelessness hangs in the air 
  for a downtrodden struggling to survive
         in the mean, unforgiving streets.

       a child's life hangs in the balance;
 accidentally struck by rat-a-tat of gunfire. 
           what is going on in the world? 
         all birds, but the mourning dove...

              keep silent in the meadow. 
 the praying mantis has seen better days;
            It's arms folded in hope that 
        tomorrow is a brighter, better day.
