Poem, Song Lyrics: "And The Children Die"...Feeling very overwhelmed about the suffering children on this planet I needed to write this. I find myself thinking more and more about the child who is tucked under their covers in fear, without love, without nourishment, without hope, and I'm devasted. I get that "ache" in my stomach. I feel helpless sometimes. Quite frankly, this kind of pain suffered by the most innocent of our societies, makes me feel ashamed to be part of the human race sometimes. Written by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyrighted Now I understand Now I know Older and wiser I understand with pain in my stomach The suffering of a child I have lived to learn how unforgivable it is to Standby while they die A life like box in my living room tells me stories Of babies who have no more tears to cry Their blank stares begging for nothing Their frail bodies exposed to us as evidence As humanity sits by helpless, I Cry What do I do while they die? Am I an unwitting participant in this Me game? Or worse, is it knowingly? Am I forgiven because I cry? Or do I close the light at night and know that absolution will never be gifted to the human race until we take each others hands as one people united in our common goal, making decisions advocating compassion, above Everything How do we find our way While they die Am I getting wiser or just older? My heart aches for the children So I try to help one But it's not enough for me We need leaders who will choose to save the children We need countries caring about their suffering people But it is easier to build weapons Hold my hand while we cry And the children die Wishing you well, Barb Find your peace and find your place in this world Smile even when it hurts Complete your lifes plan See the beauty around you, it's plentiful You'll find it in the smallest things and always remember, you are loved Take Me To Your Beautiful Read Another Poem: A Humorous Poem Send a gift of poetry to someone you love (Poetry Contest Here) Songs of Hope Songs of Faith Sweet Dream Songs |
