The Boy who Wept
As she stared into his eyes,
a single star crossed the sky
and she smiled cause she lied
next to the boy who wept eternal.
She asked him why he cried.
"Evil, poverty, hate, and lies
around the world are denied
the few good left dont fight,
just hide.
The world around us may die.
I cry for lives lost with no 'Why?'"
"How can you smile
when the world is in dire
need of good and truthful eyes?"
A right he could not deny
simply he replied,
"There is so much beauty, love and life
within these moments,
shares of time;
it's too much for just one guy.
So I smile and I cry for the Earth
and all it's life, simply perfect,
on the rise, sure as the sun will shine."
As she stared into his eyes,
A single star crossed the sky
and she smiled cause she lied
next to the boy who wept eternal.
-Salamat
