Memory

I don`t want to be a memory

I don`t want

To be remembered

Only after the dirt will have

Crumbled over my

Lifeless body

I don`t want to be a memory

Please Lord,

Don`t let that tragedy befall me

Don`t let me be a victim

Of dead personalities

Remember me

And recognize me

Cherish me now

And appreciate me

Stand by me today

And let us chart this journey

Together in strength

And unity

But please, don`t archive me

And lock me in the vault

Of forgotten memories

Sufferer

I was born a sufferer

I suffer for the basic things of life

That many take for granted

I suffer for food, clothing and shelter

I suffer for love, life

And the hope that things

Will be better

I`m a sufferer

I’m hungry and poor

I need help but I’m ignored

I called to you every day

That passed me by

With my saliva drenched mouth

And my tearful eyes

Sufferer, yes, I’m a sufferer

Some say tearful eyes

But I can`t taste it

Because it`s been too long since

I ate a meal

tearful eyes

These streets

I tread looking for bread

I was born a sufferer

I will have to suffer

Till I’m dead
