Tears

Written by Sylvia

Tears you will never see, spilling from my eyes.
Crying in silence, sobs that you will never hear.
A tear for each of the lies spoken to me in disguise.
One by one, the tears roll down my cheeks.

Lies that have caused unbearable pain, that you will never feel,
pain that has shattered the depths of my soul.
Broken into a million pieces, a heart that will never heal.
There is no sound, only silence as I shed these tears.

Perfect World

Written by Sylvia

In a perfect world, there would be no war,
only peace and understanding.
But the world is not perfect, there is war.
In a perfect world, there would be no enemies
only friends and family.
But the world is not perfect, there are enemies.

In a perfect world, there would be no sadness
only hope and joy.
But the world is not perfect, there is sadness.
In a perfect world, there would be no discrimination,
only tolerance and acceptance of your fellowman.
But the world is not perfect, there is discrimination.

In a perfect world, there would be no cruelty,
only kindness and concern for others.
But the world is not perfect, there is cruelty.
In a perfect world, there would be no needless death and dying,
only life lived to the fullest until our time to die.
But the world is not perfect, there is needless death and dying.

In a perfect world, we would strive to change these things.
But the world is not perfect, we are complacent with the status quo.
In a perfect world, we would embrace our fellowman.
But the world is not perfect, we prefer to turn away.
