The Meaning Of Living

Folder: 
Life

Sad eyes.

Staring into the barren desert.

No hope.

No joy.

Starvation, filth and poverty surround her.

Is this all there is for these children.

Doesn’t she deserve more?

Why must it be like this?

Pain suffering unbelievable cruelty.

This is her life.

Yet she chooses to live rather than die.

She smiles rather than cry.

She holds the hand of her brother.

To give him hope and security.

Though there is none.

Why I ask.

To have nothing and be happy.

Is better than having it all.

And being dead inside she replies.
