I Cry For the World

October 2007

I cry for the children too weak to cry
With bloated bellies just waiting to die

I cry for the innocents on a distant shore
Who bury their loved ones as a result of war

I cry for the poor of any race
While the rich get richer and spit in their face

I cry for the soldiers who gave their lives
For reasons I sometimes fail to recognize

I cry for the black homeless waiting still
While whites build mansions on top of the hill

I cry for the billions who pray in vain
Who seem only to suffer more pain

I cry for the poor sick who suffer
And have to choose between drugs or supper

I cry for the elderly confined to a home
Who wonder why so many leave them alone

I cry for the legless kids in Afghanistan
And wonder why Bush never signed the land mine ban

I cry for America which once was great
But is now the object of worldly hate

I hate the bastards who start a war
While most of us don't know what the hell for

I admire the people who with all their might
Work to end all wars and make things right
