Description Living in a world full of broken memories,
Everyone you know, corrupt with disease.
Everything you hear no more truths than lies,
Seconds tick on, on every stroke another dies.

Life in sadness but a love so strong,
Misery and hunger, nobody's day as long.
Waiting for the darkness where their dreams can flow,
But no hope of succeeding, where can they go?

Death of a mother, a father taken away,
But life goes on for yet another day.
On an empty stomach, they sleep for five,
And wake up wondering how they are still alive.

So perhaps when you are moaning about not having new shoes,
You'll think about not having the option to choose.
You'll remember their suffering, remember their pain,
And never believe you are hard done by again.

This message sobers me greatly. You have stated so well the behaviour many americans act were I come from. The flow in this seemed pretty good, and the rhyming was flawless. Bravo.

amazing piece. very powerful. you've captured (quite amazingly) the pain of the lives that children surrounded by AIDS go thru, while we moan and groan about how we didnt get the new gameboy.
