A Child Dying


OF PAINS OF BEING ALONE

A STRAY BULLET

AND NOW HIS MOTHER IS GONE

LIVING IN A LIFE

A LIFE OF DISPAIR

HE KEEPS CRYING

BUT NO ONE CARES

LIVING IN A WORLD

OF HATE AND GRRED

NOT KNOWING HOW

TO NUTURE GOD’S SEED

HIS HEART IS POUNDING

HIS MOUTHTRYING TO TALK

TO TELL OF HIS PAIN

LEGS TRYING TO WALK

PEOPLE PAST BY

AND TRY TO IGNORE

THEY HEAR HIS CRIES

BUT REFUSE TO OPEN THE DOOR

THE DYING MOTHER WITHONE LAST BREATH

CLINGS TO HER BABY

HOPING TO SAVE HIM FROM DEATH

SUDDENLY AN ANGEL

APPEARS

GUIDING OTHER TO THE CHILD

BEFORE HIS LIFE DISSAPPEARS
