Cry.....my soul

Cry...my soul
For this dank and dark
world
How to lighten its
load

Cry...my soul
For the sweet children
who know suffering
How do we give them
hope

Cry...my soul
For the trees....thirsty
dying
How do we revive
them

Cry...my soul
For my shortcomings
long known
How do I release
them

Cry...my soul
For our collective lack of
vision
How do we learn again to
care

Dry the tears of my soul?
How, in a world dark?
How, where children suffer so?
How, without shade?
How, where I fall short?
How, when we are blinded
by greed?

Cry...my soul
