Let Me Weep. Poem by Fay Slimm

Let Me Weep.

Rating: 5.0


Let me weep with the world as it, sighing
Stumbles along in painful hurt, always
Seeking ways through, but doomed in the trying.
Death throes of failure assail, as it delays
Using the mend of repent for living the lie.
Let me weep for a world that needs healing
Which comes only with wide open eyes
That see. Seize truth from falsehood and reveal
A pure heart, motivated by caring
What happens to other. A world of hate
That, devoid of considerate sharing
Of wealth and stability, related
To decent aid for humanity's need,
Writhes in it's sickness. See it, and maybe
Then weep with me, we can only succeed
If we feel. Love will then show us the way.

Between our birth and our demise and we could see ourselves, through another's eyes would truth overcome the lies and be aware of humanities cries

'Let me sleep The sleep of those In whose eyes Float clouds and birds Rivers flow Yet they remain parched. ................... Let me weep! Let me sleep! ' Naseer
