JUST ONE WISH !

I am the last voice of dignity

I am just the conscience of humanity

Why are poor people eliminated from society?

Wake up nation and welcome in reality

Millions are suffering and feeling cold

While none forgets to give pets a hold

Those innocent souls are waiting for a beam

Just a new sunshine covering a deep scream

It’s their wish – don’t they have the right to dream?

Eyes learnt to see nothing but the dark of night

So why keep searching for the ray of light?

It’s easy to say never give up and hold on tight

’cause you’re not the one who tried the painful bite

They are out of soul; you can notice that at first sight

They tried so hard not to show

Even when they were uncovered under the snow

Feeling the cold dominating their weak bodies

But won’t let you know

Till the day when their hearts will blow

When they won’t feel like a plastic bag

Drifted through the wind and never nag

That day seems to be far away

Just when the world learns how to say

We’re all equal and that’s how we’re gonna stay

That’s when you’ll see a smile of glory

Translating you the happy end of the story…

What’s the point of living

What’s the point of living

If you didn’t have someone by your side?

What’s the point of trying

If you’d still be terrified?

What’s the point of hoping

If hope didn’t stop you from losing your mind?

What’s the point of trusting

If everybody around you lied?

What’s the point of writing

If indifference would be all that you find

Had you been more careful

You would’ve seen how pride

Has made of you a big blind!

Had you been more grateful

You wouldn’t have denied

All the blessing God has to provide

If you want to be useful

Just swallow your pride

You’ll see how life would be such a nice ride

As we grow up, we learn that life isn't all about being the leader of the dinghy because it may be broken and sink, we learn that life isn't all about being the Army Commander, because he may be shot and killed; instead it's all about being strong and powerful, it's all about being satisfied and ... happy ..That's why we run then we fall, we stand, we run and we fall again, we move and we fall .. and we keep fighting! Fighting this world which is teemed with fear, fighting this time which is full of envy, fighting those people full of grief, fighting this dreadful life .. without anyone here ..LONELY .. Yes .. LONELY we are! SELFISH we are! GROOFY we are! CREEP we are!All what we want is a happy life, but we forget that we can't have a rainbow without rain! All what we need is love, but we neglect that we can't have passion without pain! All what we admire is being satisfied, but we will never be as long as greed keeps runing in our veins ..
