Pray For The WorldA Chapter by Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)I hear the distant cries...Image from Flickr.com ~~¤~~ I heard your cry Oh, Paris From the hundred of bodies that fell on your ground I heard the sobbing of your neighbors I saw the tears of all the eyes watching you You were trying to move on from the tragic Charlie Hebdo Attack But here you are again- Broken and bruised And my heart is breaking My tears are rolling down my face As I utter a thousand why's But... I still hear the weeping from afar- Palestine and Syria are still mourning for the death of their children, India Heat Wave that killed more than two thousand, The hundreds of migrants killed in sinking ship in the Mediterranean Sea, The TransAsia Airways Flight 235 Crash in Taiwan, The Germanwings Flight 9525 Crash into the French Alps, The Earthquake in Nepal, The Amtrak Train Derail in Philadelphia, The Warehouse Explosion that killed a hundred in China, The Reporter and Cameraman Killed live on TV, The Refugee crisis, The Hajj Pilgrimage Tragedy near Mecca The series of calamities and tragedies in different parts of my dear Philippines- The families of thousands of dead people are still in agony These tragedies around the world Gave those places the deepest cuts upon the bellies of the mothers Wounds that connect to the hearts And create scars that might be fresh until now The world is in pain And here are my tears again I am praying for the world Can we listen to those cries and open our hearts? Let us pray for you, dear Paris And for other places wich are still in misery Let us pray for the world. ~~¤~~ © 2016 Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)Author's Note
