[bodytext] => I was busy whining ‘bout how my food tasted,
When a million others have no food at all.
Everyday on television I watch innocent lives wasted,
One by one, they wither away and fall.

The stench of blood and the unholy sound of guns,
Ring far and wide across the forsaken land.
In the midst of massacre are a handful of priests and nuns,
Looking after the orphans; stretching out a hand.

Why are people so cruel; whatever happened to love?
Helplessly I watch this insanity with a watery eye.
If God was witnessing this gruesome act from above,
It would hurt Him enough, to make a hundred suns cry.

The Slaughter house

I was busy whining ‘bout how my food tasted,
When a million others have no food at all.
Everyday on television I watch innocent lives wasted,
One by one, they wither away and fall.

The stench of blood and the unholy sound of guns,
Ring far and wide across the forsaken land.
In the midst of massacre are a handful of priests and nuns,
Looking after the orphans; stretching out a hand.

Why are people so cruel; whatever happened to love?
Helplessly I watch this insanity with a watery eye.
If God was witnessing this gruesome act from above,
It would hurt Him enough, to make a hundred suns cry.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
