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

That's a pretty sad, which is very nice!

[Coyote Poetry]

One of this world great problems. Slavery and selling children is alive and well in this world. Poem is very powerful. You tell a strong and true story of children labor. The emotion and desire of the poem came through in your words. A outstanding poem.
