Through The Eyes Of A Poet...
The Land Of Sadness And Sorrow!
If you look to the land of sadness and sorrow;
Tell me, what do you see?
A people of light-hearted banter…
Or do you see a people in pain like me?
Where it starts makes no matter!
The only thing that it does; so true,
Is to cause a pain instilled so deep,
And leaves you bereft; not knowing what to do!
But the people in the land of sorrow;
Are judged and blamed for life,
What did they do to deserve this?
And why would they create such strife?
Well let me tell you a story;
About negativity and hate and blame,
And let me paint pictures in your mind;
Then may you so hang your head in shame!
AIDS; yes, that much dreaded word!
That causes so much heartbreak in life;
It tears apart people from people,
Takes them like a thief and instils such strife!
So you look to your left, look to your right,
See the people that are taken away;
Death strikes into the heart of many,
And does so each and every day!
So the world and its wife take revenge;
And they point the finger of blame!
Saying it started in the land of sadness and sorrow;
But I think that's something to shame!
For who has the right to point a finger?
Because no-one has that right to lay blame!
This began one day, who knows where!
Now people dice with a Russian roulette game!
There is only one to blame that I can see
And that's to point the finger to God above,
It is He who decides on the fate of people,
It is only He; this God we so love!
In the Bible we read the stories so true;
About the plagues brought about by He;
And isn't AIDS just another plague?
Yes!! But the people just can't see!
The beginning was brought about by God;
He gave us choices for the path we take;
We tread those paths as best we can,
Hoping for hate and anger to forsake!
To blame anyone for something like AIDS;
Is a sin against this God above!
For I believe He brings about everything!
Yes, this icon, this God of love!
So before you make a judgement in life;
Think hard before you blurt!
And take stock of the pain you'll inflict,
And more; take stock of the people you'll hurt!
Everything starts with God at the beginning;
And the ending is deemed by He above!
So don't make judgements; unless you be judged,
Judged by this Icon, this God of love!
We don't know the answers to everything!
For that's impossible to know!
So the blame for AIDS; is anyone's guess!
So let that negative; hatred go!
For the people who have died as a result,
Of this plague, sent from God - I believe!
Have left behind a world of pain!
For the families of the dead; to forever grieve…
Is no-ones fault, for who can really ever say?
‘It came from here, there or wherever!'
I don't believe anyone can say that!
For AIDS has probably been here forever!!
It's like anything!
Things go unnoticed for decades;
You don't know of it…
Then...
As the worlds boffins became cleverer;
Things came to light that were already there!
Love and be loved!
Judge and be you judged!
Hate and you hate alone!
Life is a game of chess;
Checkmate comes from God!
Tell me, what do you see?
A people of light-hearted banter…
Or do you see a people in pain like me?
Where it starts makes no matter!
The only thing that it does; so true,
Is to cause a pain instilled so deep,
And leaves you bereft; not knowing what to do!
