Once upon a Teary Eye

Once upon a Teary Eye by Terry 2011/09/05 15:32
Once upon a teary eye...
She was walking home from the mosque

God knows how she was kidnapped
How the other girl stabbed
Lonely girl in an Abu Ghraib cell
How it feels to be unheard...when you yell

Once upon a teary eye..

A young boy was carried to his grave

God knows the tests of the Palestenians born
Over so many bodies they have mourn
Where life is a prison and martyrdom adorned
Humiliated daily and openly scorned

Once upon a teary eye...

A child cried and died of thirst

God knows the unheard Darfur tale
Where one's home becomes their jail
Help isn't provided,and evil prevails
Sadly,the world hasn't heard details

Once upon a teary eye
Once upon a dreary night

Because their souls are lost through oppression
Because they believe riches are in possession
Because manipulation has become an obsession
Wealth and power are privots of discretion
With a mask over their face,committing aggression

Victory for me is more than a belief
You can't survive forever on an innocent grief
If life is a right then they are the thief
Lord assist the weary,for
He is King and He is chief
Proving illigitimate power is short-lived and brief...

Meaningful and truely attached to reality. The reality of today is this. Mankind starves for peace. Like a drop of water, peace is lacking and a flood of blood prevails.
