"Tears In The Dust"



A tear falls from the tiny eyes
A body full of woe
A heart that lingers and defies
Disease and hunger so.

A face that maps what it endures
Of sadness and of pain
Of little hope as it procures
Each breath of little gain.

Disease and sickness all about
Dead bodies laying near
A fate that surely shows no doubt
Of anguish and of fear.

For these poor souls accept their lot
They never question why
A savage pride is all they've got
And so they wait to die.

The eyes of pain and hurt describe
A devastating land
A simple, poor and wasting tribe
Of sorrow in God's hand.

We sit and watch these people cry
We drink and eat and waste.
And dread that they must surely die
We turn our backs in haste.

As we release a little sigh
We wish them better days
But know within that they will die
No help to change their ways

And still remains a poor country
Of trouble and of strife
A people bound by laws that see
A daily loss of life.

We cannot know what they must feel
As they struggle to survive
Each day of agony, for them, is real
For each to stay alive.

God Bless these people in their roles
May hearts that ache, be still
And in His mercy may these souls
Find peace within His will.

And as the tear rolls down the face
May God deal with them first
This sad neglected human race
Whose tears quench their great thirst.
