Images keep taxing my mind
Is this the face of mankind?
Tears frozen amidst the blazing sun
Miles of path, nowhere to run
Dust quietens unheard sighs
Dare I glimpse in their eyes?
Pain puts a barrier clouding their emotion
Happiness…a far fetched notion
Hope shrouded by painful moans
No energy to echo any groans
A generation has passed
A generation will pass
They are still there
Feeling the pain of a lost childhood
Drifting into an old age, without an adult stage
We have everything
They have nothing
My cup overflows
Their cup is non-existent
My heart is aching
Who do I blame in this making?
Or are they the children of a lesser God?
Forgotten in strife
Abandoned in life
