How was your day?


Each night you ask me “How was your day?”
I reply with answers you want me to say
I woke this morning switched on the Television
And saw 200 people had been killed for religion

I walked through town, saw people without homes,
And others’ in suits talking on their mobile phones
Some people must beg in order to survive
Yet you, me & others we take for granted, our lives

The things I see sicken me inside
Yet there’s nothing I can do, but get on with my life
These thousands of people they starve whilst outdoors
And you ask me how my day was?
“It was fine, how was yours?”

Steve....
I am always glad when I have the chance to read the words from another 'observer'. You don't just look at the world in it's state of conflict....you actually study it!!  This poem was inspiring, and extremely well-written.  


Write on!
