Tears of Shame
The world’s poverty
Is a stranger’s agony.
They are our brothers and sisters in need,
The lonely shadow who need to be freed.
While the starving and lonely die in despair
The world just listens to their humble prayers.
As the sunset covers the suffering land
Only a few give a helping hand.
Their nights are full of cold and sorrow
For the pain that the dawn will bring tomorrow.
Their unending hope is for tears of rain
So that their land will live again.
Suffering and agony their companions each day,
A painful sight of a world in decay.
"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered." Proverbs 21:13
