I Can See the World's Dismays

I see the world’s
faces in dismays
Where mothers yell
awaking deaths.

I see the world
with its mountains
Some people ski
some others dive.

I see the world
full of green fleshes
Kind people cry
slayers dine, dance.

I see the world
souls vanishing souls
To confirm recent sayings,
“Who can end the Y’s crimes? ”

    Sylva, our world is full of injustice. Mostly, it's the innocent that suffers. Sometimes, one wonders: how could this be? And yet we remain powerless to change it all. Thanks for raising the awareness. 10
