What's To Come of This Day?

• Artist: C Y L 3
• Description: If you know about the rebels in Africa it is a very gruesome horrible lifestyle. They kill endless amounts of families and use innocent children and force them to kill everyday. I think of this every time I enjoy myself only even for a minute. Sadly I didn't get enough time to put this up for the Christmas contest. I was offline! I was sad when I found out it was over. =(

The small scared child wonders if his life will be spared

While I sit and ponder how this Christmas will be shared

His dark skin beaten and torn from its place

I set out the table and ask the family to say grace

This boy he has no clue what Christmas really is

I’m happily enjoying what that boy is going to miss

He’s never seen the snow with the children at play

He’ll never see the glow of this Christmas day

I want to be happy about this anyway

But it’s too hard to talk when I’ve got nothing to say

The wife glances up as a gloss fills my eye

That African land leaving so many to cry

I feel their pain pulsing in my heart

This day has really lost its spark

200,000 rebels still gun in hand

Killing one another against God’s demand

I want to go and help them

But I don’t think I can

The wife she still stares waiting for my plan

“I’m sorry I’m out of it, I just can’t crack a smile.”

“I know dear,” she says “This world is so vile.”

Then we bow our heads over our delightful meal

And hope in our hearts those poor children will be healed.
