Poem I wrote to music by Roberto Cacciapagilia |
This song should be read with the following accompaniment: (the video doesn't matter, just the song playing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaYibxz4e0s Forgotten and Alone She hides her face her legs still slick and wet He left the money on the table He has three mouths to feed Yet, God has forgotten him Forgotten and Abandoned He cries to the night Jail bars close in The bloods still warm on his hands He had to protect his family Yet, God has forgotten him Forgotten and Hopeless She is afriad and alone A new heart within her It was never supposed to go that far She has to grow up now at only 14 Yet, God has forgotten her Forgotten and Ashamed He begs for just a dollar Fire, facotry moving to China Food stamps still won't cover He has to raise his family Yet, God has forgotten him Forgotten, so many people Suffer through life Why must God hide his face The Light that starts so bright swindles, disappears, dies The American Dream There is ruin in our streets Misery from the voiceless, old, and ill Cynicism for the hungry youth The scale of inequity Crashes and burns They never had the chance A chance to wait in wonder Listen to Life Grab for Grace or Save their Soul Do not condemn even with your eyes for they are often deceived The rash one has no integrity but the just one, because of his faith, hope, and love Shall live |
