A Dream For Tomorrow
By Natasha Ishaq When the house burns down And the residents weep When the bombs explode And the children loose sleep Who are the ones left behind? To dream of a better tomorrow Where someone may come to heal their sorrow Far away someone cries into the night As they are lashed and beaten to their own little grave And not too far away the child lies on the floor Longing for something to fill the hunger And right next door Another mourns and grieves for reasons unknown And they know how it hurts To feel all alone They know how it hurts To feel as if your fighting on your own When the house burns down And the residents weep When the bombs explode And the children loose sleep Who are the ones left behind? To dream of a better tomorrow When someone may come to heal their sorrow One chapter ends, but another begins So who will turn the page with me? One day ends, but eternity thrives So who will stay with me? Because we all should know how it hurts To feel all alone We all should know how it hurts To feel as if your fighting on your own When the house burns down And the residents weep When the bombs explode And the children lose sleep Who are the ones left behind? To dream of a better tomorrow Natasha is a ninth grader. She enjoys writing and performing poetry in her free time. She enjoys writing for the greater benefit of others.
