There's tribulation, but also Triumph, one day no more despair
If we just can reach tomorrow...A Few More Burdens To Bear
I see chaos and people languishing, no unity amongst the races
Society's countenance has been dimmed; the lack of hope etched on their faces
I met a child, who said "Don't worry, I'm not sad because I'm poor...
"My father's in prison, my brother's a dealer...my mother is just a whore"
Deceit and Avarice, ignoble actions, Equal Justice For All...Denied!
Where can I go to find some solace?...For, these problems are nationwide
Turn on the T.V. and see the violence, hard luck stories in all the papers
Crime's miasma has left us flummoxed....Rightwing Bombings and Baby Rapers
Children of the world are dying quickly, yes many elegies daily sung
Life has dealt them a mortal blow; Man, Why Did Tupac Die So Young?
In every ghetto a broken spirit, unstable families are ripped asunder
Will all these burdens bring forth an answer?/With many tears I often wonder
Still, beyond the scope of conflict, for better days a Light is shining
When Peace and Love will destroy The Beast...and this system of his designing
I wish this poem to induce a pathos, words so poignant they make you cry
But, let your core absorb the essence, or its truth will pass you by
These trying times seem insurmountable with all of the sorrows we have to share
Until the Highest Plane is Reached....A Few More Burdens To Bear
