Mother's tears slide down her cheeks,
as a valiant life begins to fade.
Blind man gropes his way down street,
as tumors wrack his painful brain.
"There is no work", he heard them say,
"So, I hold this cardboard sign, today".
"Rehab tells you all the facts,
still, a monkey rides my back!"
"My home remains an orphanage,
'til I reach a ripened age".
Children play so silently,
"Daddy's hand did deafen me".
A country's heart will weep, today,
as bitter hatred sweeps their way.
Earth is a mourning place,
looking for a peaceful face.
Every soul I see today,
their pain from them
You'll take,
I pray.
