Intertwined

Sounds of thunder sounds of pain
Sounds of children playing in the rain
Sounds of war, guns firing, people dying
High in the sky coloured kites are flying
Bodies mangled, dying and dead
Teachers teach kids to get ahead
Screams of pain that pierce the air
Mother and baby asleep in armchair
Streets stained with blood of innocents
Classes are full of bright eyed students
People praying to God above
Young couple, arm in arm, professing love
Face down dying on foreign ground
Joyful laughter of games in playground
Save me Lord, please save my life
Please Lord protect innocence, keep away strife

Misery and wealth, suffering and joy, hatred and love go hand in hand together. When we are happy and wealthy, and joyful, and brimful with health we forget about those who are at a disadvantage. Could anyone be happy in every sense of the word when there's human pain and strife everywhere?! This poem is for those afflicted with unconcern and egoism. Thank you for sharing. handshake
