"WITHIN I CRY"

Within,
Tears I cry
For you and I

Tears
That seem
Endless

I know
You’re only
Sleeping

Maybe flying
With the angels

Waiting to reunite
With those of us
That believe

But still,

It saddens me

And I sit in disbelief
just cannot conceive

Refuse to understand

Why would someone
End a life

Actions of the hands of man

Child abuse,
Child neglect
Murder,
Violence,
Even suicide

It seems to multiply
In this place called earth
Where I must reside

You are now
In a better place
I envy you to a degree

You are in a peaceful realm
A place where you are free

Free from the hate
The evil that resides
In the hearts of man

But still
I cannot conceive
Refuse to understand

Animals
Protect their young

Why can’t we
Do the same

Most animals hunt
Only for food

But man will hunt
For game

How evolved are we really

When we don’t cherish life
More than we do?

Some don’t care ‘bout
themselves

Why would they
care ‘bout you?

I continue to live
Undoubtedly someday I’ll die

But in between
I will persist to
Fight the good fight

Speaking against the wrong
And working towards the right

All the while
Within
I cry
For you and I
