The World's Wounds
I have moved on all the continents
Continents, heaven and hell to experience
Experience of happiness and sadness
Sadness of all colors because of leaders’ carelessness
Carelessness breeds evils because of lies
Lies breaking peace to prompt armed conflicts
Armed conflicts causing wounds to people
People are wounded in hearts as women endure rape
Rape sending children, men and women into desperation
Desperation as there nowhere hospitals to see for help
Help’s deficiency, causing victims to passing
Passing of neglect, disease or hunger
Hunger leading to a natural or artificial death
Death after suffering lacerations
Lacerations on the body, the heart and the mind
The mind’s bleeding, the heart’s broken
Broken and hopeless, people’s minds wander
Wander and abandon the environment of the world
The world is wounded but cannot cicatrize
Cicatrization we expect soon, as the healer is to come
