Save Them

They gaze at the stars
Heart quavering, beating like drum beats
Stream of tears pouring on the pale land
Memories full of dreams
Cut off, aborted
O! Save them
They have a tune to dance to

Dwelling in Poverty’s compound
Clad in tattered rags
Undetected sickness breakthrough
Waiting for neighbour’s
So as to welcome a square meal
In the middle of the day
To feed the rumbling stomachs

Difference in language is a barrier
Lack of communication arises
No higher place to go without the key
Education the key to any door

Gathered on the field
Laying down their dreams
Reflecting on their innocent eye balls
Trapped in darkness of doubt
But never lose hope
All shall never remain the same
There’s a reason their life started like this

Help the living dead build their hope
And make your promises come true
Education you promised
Where’s it?
Has it vanished to an unknown land?
Or has it been fed on by your greedy blood?

The innocent children are dying
Save them!
Security you promised
Not fulfilled, while fresh pepper is planted
On the pale land
SAVE THEM!
SAVE THE PEOPLE!
SAVE THEIR DREAM!!
