World Of Sorrow Part 1

Finally, I'm back to raps. Here's another random rap on the world's problems...the first part, that is...

World Of Sorrow

Darkness, imprisoning day

As he watches the hours just bleed away

In a cramped, dirty room, in a big factory

Stuffed to the brim with little kids like he

Working so hard, making toys and goods

But not playing with them like little kids should

'Cause he barely has anything, not enough to survive

While you just go on with your perfect little life

As he struggles so hard, like millions like himself

'Cause you can't even bear to raise a finger to help

And as he sleeps and works on an empty tank

You're just laughing your freaking way to the bank

Wearing those clothes made by people like him

And a million others exploited by companies within

Another voice

Another soul

Lost in the bitter darkness

A world of sorrow

Another song

As it unfolds

Holds their prayers for happiness

For a better tomorrow

Darkness, imprisoning day

As she looks from her window in the endless rain

With the slashes on her left hand, scars on her right

'Cause you beat her and scream at her every day and night

Her pain's too much, it runs too deep

Far too much for any soul to keep

So she reaches for the syringe lying by her side

Filled with what she needs, for all the tears she's cried

And as she injects herself with the dose in her vein

She hopes she'll never wake up again

'Cause you never really knew, and you never really cared

About what you said and the bitter life she's had

To you she's just another one who's too far gone

But you pushed her to drugs, now look what you've done

Another voice

Another soul

Lost in the bitter darkness

A world of sorrow

Another song

As it unfolds

Holds their prayers for happiness

For a better tomorrow

Very sad, but very true. So many people look past all of the things that are going on, even more so when its someone close to them. Great work.

[Natalie]

Very true. This was so sad and emotional. I could really feel the pain tht was in the rap. well done

[JENY]

Fine….
Sure …inequality is the bane of society….
Inability to sympathize with others…is the bane of humane feelings….
Sorrow is a part and parcel of life’s journey…
Never there was a period in history ….the world is relieved from its clutch…
Appreciate your powerful skill for observation…
Loved the poem so much…

[Huggy Bear]

Great poem you have here. It is really good:)

[Randolf Ramos]

Life as we all know are medium for change! We live a life of sorrow of pain, of poverty, of richness, the richness in spirit and wisdom is better than pecuniary things, that it guide our life to better understand life itself! Suicide is not the a choice, how ever downtrodden we must see the beauty of life.... In simple things and life, could we not make ourselves happy? That we regards happiness with every standard we know like love, money, fame, if not with all of these are we not happy?

We make choices and that will determine our fate! It is a matter of choice that determines it.

For me live accordingly.

Thanks for the lesson!
Please keep on writing.
I got to learn a lot from you!

No, it's not long... two stories told back to back with good effect. I guess you portray the way some folks look at things and i'm sure there is more than a modicum of truth to the stories. I tend to look at the other side of the equation and see that there is always hope that people can overcome the destitute lives you describe - I know some can't but I would hope most could. Good poem to get folks thinking.
