When poetry cry’s
When poetry cry’s
So few achieved survival
So many got stuck along the way
Too many fell off the track
So many died before the end
Too many got to the finish line but
Couldn’t cross over
So many drawn on the high sea
Too many gave up the pain with their last breath
Cos the desert was so too hot to bear
So many wishes were made before this trip
Too many prayers was said along the way
So many songs of inspiration from the voices willing to make it
Too many feared yet kept courage alive
So many were brave yet destiny was so far from luck
Too many keep hoping to make it through at last
So sad that all this victims were just
Escaping
Yes escaping Just to find a better life
For the days yet to come
When poetry cry’s
Relate with reality my friend
Cos you can never know
What a new day can bring
So tonight my pen bleeds
Only for the quest of humanity
How could the strong help the weak
How will the fathers of our land be
Our true mentors
How could we walk the road of peace
Together
How is it impossible to love one another
How can we grow pass wars
Or are we meant for destruction
Where I ask again is the conscience
Of the world
How come we suffer just to live
How long will people keep dying Just
To escape poverty
Is a shame to humanity
If ignorance of peace
is pass on from generation to generation
How can we do better
Cos the kids needs a save planet to grow
The young needs to truth to save our future
So tonight my pen bleeds for peace again
Let’s set ourselves free
Life is beyond mere manipulation
We can do better today for the days
Yet to comes else
We keep bleeding and this is
When poetry cry’s
Tributes to the struggling
Common man
Dedication to the world
We need peace
