SECRET SOULS

 

In this world of moral confusion,

      let anger not prevail.

For who are we to judge those,

      who in our eyes have failed ?

 

Perhaps untouched by loving hands,

       abused and all alone,

Children have the right to have,

        a safe and happy home.

 

Behind our walls of bricks and mortar,

        their secret lives exist.

And even if we do our best,

         the torture still persists.

 

Unheard by us these desperate cries,

         will break their hearts and minds.

When bitterness and hatred,

          are all these souls can find.

 

So if we condemn but have not felt,

          the pain that others feel.

Hatred will continue on,

           our world will never heal.
