When I go for a walk I sometimes take a road that has a huge weeping willow. Today, as I stared at it, I kept wondering and asking why is it always so sad? It must be crying for some reason? Maybe it’s crying for all the children that are victims of child abuse, abortion and molestation. What do you think?
Weeping Willow
Willow, willow, willow, weep
In the daylight and as we sleep
Draw the tears from the deep
.
For the children of the earth
For the babies that are hurt
That we smother with our dirt
.
For the nameless, the unborn
The street beggars and the forlorn
From their mothers quickly torn
.
For those killed within the womb
Speedily sent to an early tomb
For in our heart there is no room
.
Why is mankind so unkind?
Why do we hurt a growing child?
Why so much evil in our mind?
.
Don’t we feel the excruciation?
Don’t we hear the suffocation?
Can we live with our justification?
.
Undisturbed, we’re fast asleep
All the tears are yours to keep
Willow, willow, willow, weep
