Black Precious Pearl Why all the Abuse? Why all the Neglect? What makes someone do the things they may do? You feel all the pain No joy to share The wonders of all the world passing on by To please another’s mind To please someone who might care Catch 22 with all you might do Change hanging, loosely in ones hand All they might have in the world Lost Treasures Lost Memories Searching one’s dark mind for things of the past Full of confusion Full of bad choices Hopelessness looming in the light Half-truths contorting the beliefs right before their eyes Always caste to the side Not given two glances wondering what they did wrong Asking Allah, Is this my plan to be? Wanting to be given a chance A piece of this materialistic world Throwing one’s soul into another with hatred Choice made to Love Choice made to die Disregard on the side of one’s life But yet still a black precious pearl And just for one minute you heard My World. |
