Pray For The World

I hear the distant cries...

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.

Author's Note

Please don't misunderstand.  I am also praying for Paris.  But many places are still suffering and still need our prayers.

World is already in the phase of 3rd world war, we might decline this.. It happened in India, repeated in Pakistan, spread towards The UK and the USA... Now its more powerful and painful spreading towards France and Belgium. Its not their loss, its us who made our mind set and we are pretty comfortable with what is happening around. I plea do not tolerate any more injustice fight back and teach them we are unite across the world..

Dhaye this was very strong message from your poem.

Thanks for sharing :)

The world is a horrible, terrible, torturous place.
The world is a beautiful, loving, and nurturing place.

Take your pick. But it's actually all the above.

Thanks for reading.

For evil to prosper, good people need do nothing so yes indeed, let's unite and show solidarity the world over and speak up in one voice against these hineous crimes against our innocent brothers & sisters !!

Thoughtfully penned Dhaye with genuine concern and compassion, kudos to you !!

My heart is breaking with the news I watched on tv. But a certain post at FB caught my attention like saying "please include us in your prayers".
I am praying for those victims of tragedies and their families.
Thanks, Tom.

[Dhaye]
