Why do the innocent cry This constant river of tears Leaders down  paths of destruction Speaking diplomatic garbage Fueling hatred with policies As to send the young and restless Killing and dying Followed by tears of innocence   People caught up in patriotism Enclosing self in ethnicity No allowances for variance The oneness of man blurring Now it's easy leading you Down roads of hatred and violence Here comes the tears   The double standards are scary Truths and rights who cares Hypocrisy the new order Justice depends on ties Conflicts created to cover the lies Victims of hatred you and I What do the leaders care Do they see the tears   Everyday sacrifices asked for Those called on not the ones reaping Sentiments played on Anything to stop the feeling of love Confusions to hinder vision Many crossroads leading to nowhere And only the tears to testify.   [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
