The Smiling Child

The child is happy
not a worry, not a care.
What's it to him
if the world is in despair.

Millions die of hunger
While some dig for gold
But the child is content
In his own small world.

Religion killing people
Women have no say
and he's glad to have lived
his life happily today.

"But, he's only a child
what can he do?"
That's the tragedy my friend,
The child is ME and the child is YOU!

CURSE

She was walking on the road

there was no one in sight

there was joy in her heart
She was singing to the night.

There came a group of men,
drunk to the bone.

They maimed her and tamed her
and sped off leaving her alone.

She lay there weeping
helpless and cold
She wanted to scream out her agony
but no words her mouth could hold.

What a curse it is to be born
a woman in this world , She thought.
Morality is all but gone

and humanity's been left to rot.

She was walking on the road

there was no one in sight
there was fear in her heart
She was crying to the night....
