You know what's sad
When the system
Runs amuck
You know what's sad
When the governments
Says enough
You know what's sad
When the world
Ignores your prayers
You know what's sad
When a child
Loses their innocence
Through a hurtful
Thoughtless jerk
You know what's sad
When men
Can never be free
In there own wife's company
You know what's sad
When a mother
Loses her child
You know what's sad
When one you love
Can no longer breathe
You know what's sad
When a hungry child
Lives in poverty
You know what's sad
When no one care's
And they kill all your dreams
You know what's sad
When silence
Is your only friend
But despite all that
We all must live
With love, and respect
In harmony
Isn't that what's life suppose to be
Very good poem Kalia! All of these are very sad and it engaged me emotionally. I like the childless innocence cause that is so sad and how silence is your only friend sooo good! Thanks for the lovely read :) Your friend, Williams, T.
