Tear

I'm Strong enough to be unshy

To stand and watch the children die

To see the brothers on the bed of Death  

To hear a mother's and a father's cry



I'm Strong Enough but I can't rely

I can't speak truth, but I still don't lie

I can't save world, but I feel the pain

The pain of saying, a Beloved Goodbye



I'm Strong enough but I don't know why?

I'm pulled and left on earth to die

I'm Strong enough but who am I?

I am the tear of the Innocent Eye

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem after seeing the pictures of Israeli brutality in Palestine, and the torture, violence and injustice all around the globe by none other than Humankind itself. This poem is dedicated to all my brothers and sisters who have sufferred and sufferring from pain, loss or calamity.

Hey. that was really good!
like, wow. I mean, it really said something.
and it spoke to me, because I was in Israel and i have felt what you're saying and I also know everything that's going on there. and that was just a really good piece.
I like position pieces. I wrote as a piece of paper about 5 years ago. haha. a slightly lighter note.
