FicWad: fresh-picked original and fan fiction

I See America Weeping



I See the tears of the children
As their shelters turn into battlefields

I See the tears of the victims
When all they have is ripped away

I See the tears of the people who have harmed another
Even when they cannot see it for themselves

I See the tears of the poor
As the starve a little while longer

I See the tears of the prosperous
When everything is not enough

I See the tears of the nobodies
With no person to share their pain

I See the tears of famous
Who cannot get a moment alone

I See the tears of the broken hearted
Who have had their better half torn away

I See the tears of the lovers
When their other still does not know them enough

I See America Weeping
And I figure it is wet enough.
