Somewhere far...And somewhere near

Somewhere far children cry their hunger
lying on dirt or concrete beds.

Somewhere near children
suffer at Cancer's hand in a hospital bed.

Somewhere near
a girl lost her innocence
to someone she trusted best.

Somewhere far there is a child bride
and her tears know no ending
even though you can't see them
she has learn to cry inside.

In the girl near and in the girl far
both their hearts begin to die.

Somewhere near
someone has lost his mind
and our children at school
have paid the price.

Somewhere far
children know not of such a place
and they learn everything from life
if they survive, the car bombers that drive by.

Somewhere far women have no voice
and know no rights,
they are just objects in men hands.

Somewhere near
women get mistreated and marginalized.

Our jails are full with
the guilty and the innocent alike.

Somewhere far
our prisons are our homes
for men and women both.

Somewhere far a boy becomes a father
and not so far, a girl becomes the mother
of her siblings, because she is one year older.

Somewhere far and somewhere near
children do cry.

And we lose faith in tomorrow
as our world fills up with sorrows.

Somewhere far and somewhere near
our streets are full of fears.

Far and near people medicate themselves
to numb their pain.

Far and near we are
orphans of war
and just what is it
that we are looking for?

I ask myself... When will the great
stop feeding from the little?
I whish this was DC with super heroes
but I know we can all do a little

Oh...When will it stop?
Oh... When will we learn from our mistakes?

Perhaps "tomorrow"
will be a better day...!
