" His eyes would never lie "
- When a little boy in the street smiles at you ..
- Every time you meet him in the same corner..
- His cold small hands shiver ...
- The dirty old clothes barely cover his silky body ..
- Comes toward you in short small steps ..
- Asking you for anything .. helps him to survive ..
- His strong words .. attack deeply your heart ..
- He looks strong that what the first look implies ..
- Cause the life has drawn its bad image on his face ..
- But you should look deep in his eyes ..
- His eyes would never lie ..
- So you can see the sea of struggle ..
- The falls of sadness ..
- And the deserts of hopes and dreams ...
- His dreams that were killed before they were born ..
- His hopes to get a life went with the wind ..
- He is poor .. his family is impecunious ..
- They live in a cold house made of metal ..
- Poor .. Impecunious .. these words drown us deep in shame ..
- Should make us feel what they feel ..
- Should force our rusty hearts to beat ..
- These are humans the same as us ..
- They have thoughts , dreams, hopes ,and needs ..
- There is no justice in this cruel world .. that is it ..
- Someone in expensive high heels .. others with bare feet ..
- What I see makes me weep inside ..
- Saying sorry .. to all those in need ..
- Sorry cause we are blind ..
- Sorry cause we are greed ..
- Sorry cause there are some people want to be billionaires ..
- Sorry cause this life will never know the true meaning of being equal ..
- I as much of people barely life with dignity .. but we feel them ..
- Cause we once got hungry .. Got cold ..
- There suffering is our bloody sin ..
- We will be asked .. When we stand in the hands of God ..
"The view of dying and crying from hunger will repeat itself again and again except your hand in my hand and we work together to fight poverty... peace and love "

What a beautiful poem!!! Many are blind, but you are not. You are able to capture the thoughts and emotions from the experience of that little boy. Your poem goes beyond sympathy to the hands of empathy whereas you understand his feelings by putting yourself in his shoes.
ReplyDeleteThat is a simple thing we can give it to them .. To feel what they feel .. There is a great say " If have never felt hungry . how would you know anything about their struggle ." Thank you so much for supporting .. you are really a great person .
