Break Down

walking the streets
In stress
Running wild
In Distress
Walking pass is me
Showing no interest
No pity for the loser
Who then is to entrust
Who will care
When things fall apart
When things break down
Who is there to pick things up

No one cares
No pity for the poor
Every one for self works
The hardened heart yields not to pleas of mercy
All appeals fall down
Never to rise again

The farmer sowed the seed
Hoping for gain
Birds and rodents feast on them
Freebies in the field
Floods inundate the growth
Stifling the progress
Where then is the hope
Trust buried in the soil
Was his venture
Taken over by powers greater than him
Cruel twist of fate
Perhaps he deserved that too

Every where you go
Little children cry
Hungry little children
Angry anxious parents struggle
Mothers and fathers toil
Seeking to nourish the family
The back bent to breaking point
All this stress
Ah this distress
Break down all barriers of hope

Its in the news
Every where penury reigns
Those who have are stingy
Those without search endlessly
No gains there my friend no gains
Lose lose is the word
Breaking down all boundaries of hope
What remains is despair
Who picks up the bones
The weak
The poor
The meek
Have nothing to fall onto
This plate is empty
As we melt down to
Break down
This world of no mercy
Not beautiful any more

Kaanibaa, why did you think this poem should be in the 'Religion Forum'?

When an old African dies, it is as if a whole library has burnt down.
