Somewhere

I cried

No where rained

I rejoiced

no where shined

I broke

no where pained

I felt nothing

then I left Nowhere

until I was somewhere

feeling something

In 1960

I arose from the ashes

Like a phoenix

Only to die again

 

In 1970

I arose once more in a day

Only to be taken away

 

In 1980

I was revived

And this time I tried to live

For I was weak

So Desperately I clutched

The bird of peace

Only to let it free

 

In 1990

I shook hands

With greed

Rubbed bellies

With famine

I drank the blood

Of my dying people

As it seeped into my womb

 

In 2000

I watched as waste

Were laid to rest

At my blue shores

I watched as seeds

I planted formed roots

In different places

I became a land of many Faces

Faces who are ashamed

To be of me

To come from me

For they have abandoned me

Like an unwanted cousin

Leaving me alone to die

To wither way like

A candle lit in the wind

And I wonder

As I often do wonder

If history does repeat itself

Will this then be my fate again?

I cry for a love that was

but could never be again.

 

I cry for a love that should been

only its strenght it couldn't regain

 

I cry for a Love that was meant to me

tried to be, only to cause more pain

Why LOVE when you only end up getting hurt?

Why TRUST when you tasted the poison of betrayal?

Why BELIEVE when there's lack of faith?

Why FIGHT when there will be no victory?

Why CARRY the burden when there's no reward?

Why the LAUGHTER when there's only sadness?

Why FALL sleep when there’s only a nightmare?

Why CRY when there is no single drop of tear?

Why MARRY when your house wont be a home?

Why HOPE when nothing will ever change?

Why GIVE when there's nobody that deserves?

Why PRAY when you know it won't be answered?

Why the JOY when there is only a sorrow?

Why not TODAY when there wont be tomorrow?

Why PROMISE when no one will keep it?

Why WISH for a rain when there's only flood?

Why WISH when wishing is forbidden?

Why BREATHE when there is no air to inhale?

Why the REMORSE when nobody has a clear conscience?

Why LIVE when you are only born to die?

 

 

I am sorry Ms Genius but I had to get that off my chest. :(

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Love- Because it is better to have loved than never loved at all

Trust- your instincts

Believe- That anything is possible

Fight- For a brighter future because with difficulty ease is not far behind

Carry the burden- because good deeds are never gone unnoticed

Laugh- Because it makes the heart grow fonder

Sleep- Because you know a better day lies ahead

Don’t cry- Because nothing is worth your tears

Marry- The person who you were destined to marry

Hope- Is what makes the hurt more bearable

Give- Because there is always someone in need

Pray- Because the Lord is all Knowing and hears what you’re saying

Joy- In the small things life offers

Today-is only 24 hours and tomorrow isn’t far away

Never make a promise- Because you don’t know what the future holds

Wishing- is the same thing as hoping

Wish-God grants you paradise

Breathe-Even when the going gets tuff because someone somewhere cares for you

Remorse- Because it shows your human

Live- life to its fullest

 

 

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind." :D

 

Cheer up mate
