another day of mourning has began…the plight of the orphan..
i always ask myself these questions
?
how can i cope with the suffering in the urban?
in whom should i put my
hope, the christian, the moslem
or the pagan?
who is the architect of my suffering, GOD or satan?
man, woman: your children are not the only ones you
brought forth and should not be the only ones you fight for
your children are the ones your wisdom can preach, the ones your knowledge can teach ,
and the ones your resources can reach
you dont want to see us selling on the streets and fishing at the beach
all we ask for is a pinch of your salt and an inch of your mile
put a smile on our face’..create a space for one orphan at
your place and i know by his graceyou shall be raised
we have walked a long distancejust to have a chance
and change this circumstance
child trafficking rape
child labour child prostitution
we have been accused, abused, and refused.we have no opinions, we have no views.now child abuse is no news
we are confused.our ideas are of no use
we all have pain and sorrowbut our pain is like the bow and arrow
piercing through our bone marrow
we are your shadowyour footsteps is what we follow
nobody knows tomorrow
so when we cry,cry along with us
and when we smile, smile with us
please fuel our bus, for usto reach our destination
search your emotionsand show compassion
one generation plant the treeanother gets the shade
this wasn’t how we were created
DEATH POVERTY MALNUTRITION ABORTION
DISTORTION WAR SLAVERY HIV-AIDS
just to mention but a few….
has made it so …
so please understand
revise your plan
and help a poor orphan…
