Each time I wake up in the morning I could see the sky shedding tears Because of hatred, prejudice and war That has taken over our world Our uncared attitude towards the helpless Who live on nothing and sleepless The sky sheds tears Because of the cry of the agonised Those we threatened with fears And they never experienced living without tears Because their means of living are been shared I could see the ground cracking Because of the blood we shed on it Because on it we fight, maim and kill Because of the innocent souls we buried on it Whose blood were shed Because of our greediness I could see the earth crumbling Shaking as if there was going to be an earthquake Because on it we show hatred While we painted some people red We sit at home with fear and threat And because the helpless are out of our minds We‘ve never enjoyed rest of mind I could see the sun sobbing Weeping noisily for humans’ misdeeds Because it’s dried up many innocent bloods Before it’s been wiped off with help of rain And we still never mind to ease their pain Though they‘ve lost their life And we forgot their spirit is still alive. « return. |
