CARRYING THE CANDLES.

Who will carry a candle
For those lost unseen
The people forgotten
Whose faces
Have no screen
The children
Without childhoods
Who die all alone
From starvation
And malnutrition
And those from drugs at home.

Today is a sad day
As we all reflect
That this human race
Is still under attack
Not from the outside
But inside ourselves
It only takes a little
To turn the human mind
From something
kind and loving
To a place that is blind.

For if we are not equal
However that be described
There will always be fighting
Deceit and lies
Will we ever see
A candle burning bright
Because we have extinguished
The darkness of the night.

To all those for whom today
7/7
Must be unbearable sorrow
I am sorry .

Love Mary ***
