A heartless world

A heartless world

A Poem by SarahCortland
"

Things that go on that can be stopped like abuse

"
 

Tears like the rain hit the ground

going unheard all around

blood like dirt upon the gravel

unable to escape no matter where you travel


a little boy broken inside and out

a little girl silent unable to shout

Their families so different but also the same

Their lives a mess tossed in a game


Tears like rain hit the ground

going unheard all around

blood like dirt upon the gravel

unable to escape no matter where you travel


A beautiful woman bruised and beaten

it's been many years since shes really eaten

such a talent within her beautiful soul

but her life is consumed and lies fill her full


Tears like rain hit the ground

going unheard all around

blood like dirt upon the gravel

unable to escape no matter where you travel


Three graves left alone

Our world left unaware of the angels' sad tone

Three lives that could have been saved

but nobody stepped off the path our heartless world paved
