No Smile

"Open minded readers"

I have been asked lots

Why I don't smile ?

#instagram photos same

#facebook photos same

#googleplus photos same

My facial expression never change

Why?

So I replied #poetry #preyer

On bender knees

Tears flowed from my eyes

To be honest

I have to cry

And ask myself

Why smile

For every innocent child that died

Brutally , wrongfully by the hands of murderers and casualties of war

Why smile

For the struggles of life that we face

Why smile

For the ignorance and hatred people have towards each other of all Races and classes and places

Why smile

Everyday I watch the news there is another murder

Why smile

Everywhere on this earth there is mass destruction, poverty , wars and hunger

Why smile

For the current situation of America

This pointless race war

Why smile

For every time when a access social media web sites it's all about another fight , another struggle , another hustle

Why smile

For the corrupt government system

And for the misleading of the people by the heads of state

Why smile

On bender knees

Tears flow from my eyes

And I say when

When will this madness end

When will this race war end

And we as a people

Live in love and unity again

When will the murders and the fighting end

When will some people stop treating themselves like garbage and not making beautiful example for the future generations to follow ?

Why are some people do blind to what's going on in this world

And who can help refuses to help ?

When will this madness end ?

Until then I refuse to smile
