Poem -

Secret suffering no longer keep

Don't close your eyes
If so for how long

Long enough that animals suffer,
Bodies ripped apart
Coats taken to make you look good
Peeling their soul's away
To feel good

Don't close your eyes
If so for how long

Long enough that our sea life
is under attack once extinct
Never coming back
Harpooned slaughtered
Dead broken carcasses
upon the shoreline
Killer whales
and many more

Don't close your eyes
If so for how long

Diseases spread
though poverty-stricken countries
as children and adults so frail
lay dying in screaming pain
Without a voice to their name
Dam shame
To die in vain

Don't close your eyes
If so for how long

Countries furiously fighting
in the name of wealth
Dropping bombs and heartache
From an ego powered stealth
Hearts of the country placed upon a shelf
For what are they fighting for
It's not of love That's for sure

Don't close your eyes
If so for how long

Billions starving
homeless on the streets
Fighting over the rubbish
Something to eat
While you sit and fine dine
Counting your pennies toasting with wine

Don't close your eyes
If so for how long

Someone somewhere
A soul is crying
Bodies dying

Because of those closed eyes
Such heartache
No one wishes to see

Don't close your eyes
What if that soul was you or me

Would anyone
open their eyes to see

animals suffering ,Harpooned slaughtered ,
screaming pain
Dropping bombs ,People dying
Billions starving,
What for it's not in the name of love
that's for sure,

Don't close your eyes
Open them instead

If you close your eyes
'Let it only be to sleep'

Secret suffering no longer keep
Help the world no longer weep.

Dear Nardine Sanderson,

Excellent theme, thanks for sharing, my applause, my love, my vote

Countries furiously fighting
in the name of wealth
Dropping bombs and heartache
From an ego powered stealth
Hearts of the country placed upon a shelf
For what are they fighting for
It's not of love That's for sure

Regards & Love
