The sun never shines
it never rises on us
it always falls so dark
in this part of town
that light is not for us
We never smile so wide
the extravagance is not for us
our mouths are dry with thirst
and shut with hunger and hurt
there's never water for us
We do not hold tomorrow
the thought is stored away from us
that fate is not our own
we are told to go with the flow
even the future is not for us.
it never rises on us
it always falls so dark
in this part of town
that light is not for us
We never smile so wide
the extravagance is not for us
our mouths are dry with thirst
and shut with hunger and hurt
there's never water for us
We do not hold tomorrow
the thought is stored away from us
that fate is not our own
we are told to go with the flow
even the future is not for us.
it hurts to know that someone in the world is not blessed with the things we take for granted everyday, this includes our families, friends, food, water ,the power to make choices, to speak and most importantly Life . This poem speaks for that less fortunate girl, boy,man,woman ,child in any part of the world. this is for them
