A single poem that speaks of two lovers,
A touching story that shows lessons to a man with no heart,
A business the ignorant get involved in,
one meant for the wise,
If only the Earth could speak,
What would she say?
She would have started with lament,
she would have called God,
and seek his intervention,
We hurt ourselves,
We hurt each other,
We don't care,
even her children suffers,
the little ones suffers,
they cry,
and plead,
but the men with beards,
white beards,
laugh,
and torture them,
and God looks down from above,
he listens to the crie of the saints,
He cries,
he is moved,
some curse him,
some insult him,
some ask,
why are you not doing anything?
kill those who hurt us,
but we all seem to forget,
forget what?
that if he loves all,
then shouldn't he love the killers as well,
and want their soul saved.
