Faith

[Hayaa]

:sl:

A poem I wrote a lil while ago.. mostly just a rant. :omg:

Faith

Look into these eyes
Shattered by lies

Devastated to the heart
Thank you for tearing my world apart

You promise freedom, peace, and liberty
But it seems like contradiction is your specialty

So, let me tell you a story, true
about a child who never knew

that as tomorrow came to be
the word 'family' would be history

The father who coaxed his fright
No longer there to hold him tight

The mother who made him smile with joy
No longer there for her baby boy

The brother who always watched his back
No long to save him from enemy attacks

The sister whose care he secretly seeked
No longer there to put him at ease

Now this child's all alone
No place to go, nowhere to call home

Lack of food made him thin and frail
Once upon a time, love had fueled his fairytale

As you read this, do you feel pain?
Although, you shouldn't be one to complain

Let me tell you a story of the past
about that boy who aged too fast

His parents, siblings, home, no more
All that was left was endless war

Don't get me wrong, he's still alive
Trust in God, that he wasn't deprived

There's no use, don't apologize
Just read on, read on, and realize

That..

You can deprive me of an education
You can murder my pride
You can taunt me with satisfaction
You can consume my rights


You can push me towards depression
You can humiliate me to no end
You can resolve to aggression
You can lock away my freedom

You can inflict more pain
You can take over my land
But the effort's all in vain
Don't you understand?

You can steal those I love
You can increase my hate
You can handle me rough
But don't underestimate my faith.

You can deprive me of an education
You can murder my pride
You can taunt me with satisfaction
You can consume my rights
