A Cruel World Poem by LIAM BREHONY

A Cruel World

Rating: 4.5


We live in a world full of sorrow
so much hunger, suffering and decay.
With people just trying to borrow
enough food to get through the day.

This is a world full of such bias
prejudice on the colour of your skin.
But today it also seems to make an issue
about your beliefs, faith and religion.

I`m a product of my parents passion
it had nothing to do with their creed.
I was born from a womb that loved me
for them my birth had a great need.

We are all just a natural continuation
of lifes need to fullfill and populate.
The rite just to stand on this planet
doesn`t take colour or religion to fate.

The blood in my veins it is equal
to each man that walks on the street.
My heart beats with a natural yearning
to be accepted with my faith and my creed.

You can go to church and sing your hymns You can judge me by the colour of my skin You can live a lie until you die One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside Ring a bell? Well so many years after JWL wrote that, things haven't changed. All I want is some truth. Just gimme some truth!
