MY HEART WEEPS

My tears flow from the pain I feel
Its the sound of a mother crying for help
Sound of child crying for help
Its the painful reality of domestic violence
My heart weeps from the sight of it
Its the pain of a child crying of food
Its the sight of a mother fighting for the childs
survival
Its the painful reality that we still die of hunger
in the 21st century
My heart saddens at the thought of it
A child up in arms fighting for a lost cause
A mother raped and at times killed
Its the reality of civil wars surrounding us
Injustice surrounds us
Would be prevented deaths, that no one cares
about
Families traumatised from domestic violence
Uncivilised world we still live in
My heart does weep from all this
