Poem: You will see the light... one day, by Karen
Posted on Friday November 20, 2009 by Sara Ryan
I’m looking down on the earth
The grounds cracked,
Cracked with emotion, cracked
with sole, cracked to core
Life is hard, I can see that
and death is easy, just the
guts to jump,
One week maybe two and you’re
their and your ready,
Just one push, one moment can
change your life
Just the willpower to slit
the blue wire that controls
you,
And it’s over… your gone,
can you see me yet?
Why is it that nearly 60% of
the world’s population is in
poverty?
And why is it that they
choose to live?
Day in and day out surviving
on things that most people
take for granted
Here’s why.
Life…
Life maybe hard, its no
picnic but its real
Going to bed without food,
that’s real,
It is!
Children being raped so they
survive another day on the
streets
That’s real
But can’t you see life is all
they have; they might not
have a home to go to
Security or even love
But I can tell you this they
have me,
I may not at times be able to
do the things you want me to
do
But I promise I’m their,
always
If I had one wish just one
wish my sole would turn into
a physical feature and my
heart would be air
I would help, help you out of
this
Be strong my love, be strong
I can see you now, don’t
worry, don’t cry, I am here
And always will be
Because I am your friend,
your family, your love
Because sweetheart
I am your God! And poverty
will never separate you from
me
Never
Make a difference, give a
chance, give hope and most of
all let love conker all!!!!
Make poverty history and let
the sun rise once more
