Monochromatic Memories - Poem 1
life images that remain
Rated:

This item does not allow ratings.
They tell me pain is pain
then why does it hurt me
more to see a dirty crying child
than a homeless hungry man?

They tell me life is life
then why does it tear me
so to see a pregnant woman's strife
than the old hang on to life?

They tell me death is death
then why does it torment me
more to see a little coffin lowered
than a large one carried?

They tell me beauty is beauty
then why is it that those who
truly are the sweetest the
last to be call pretty?
