I should be happy and I’m not, <br />And I really don’t know why. <br />I should be happy and I’m not, <br />I really could sit down and cry. <br /> <br />I could cry for the world, <br />For the hunger and pain. <br />I could cry for the wars, <br />For the bombs and the hate. <br /> <br />I could cry for religion, <br />The fanatic, the pious. <br />I could cry for Politics, <br />And career Politicians. <br /> <br />I could cry for Newspapers, <br />Got the Press we deserve. <br />I could cry for the people <br />Not caring at all. <br /> <br />I should be happy and I’m not, <br />And I think I do know why. <br />In this selfish world we live in, <br />I feel helpless and torn from within.<br /><br />David Barlow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crying-out/
