A SIMPLE PLEA

A SIMPLE PLEA

 

Late at night when all is still.

I close my eyes until

I’m able to hear,

The cries and tears

-Of every man-woman-child’s fear.

 

They are but a simple plea.

Throughout the oceans

And over the seas,

A wish for freedom,

-The chance to be free.

 

From the children,

We hear a plea to only be,

A wish to eat, starvation extinct,

A plea to all -please bridge the link.

 

Humanity’s come far

From our early days,

But every step we take

With two back we pay.

 

I wish and long

To believe in humanity,

But alas, with closed eyes,

I fear, we shall forever see!
