Pray For Change Poem by Yassar Ali

I pray for changes in this harsh world of ours
I dream a dream that if I had the powers
Id make sure the earth never again felt a teardrop
Making sure the poor were never out of crop
Id aid the abandoned child and wipe away his tears
Bring a smile to them and overcome their fears
Change her name to princess rather than witch
Given to her by those cruel people trying to get rich
The pure evil parents who smashed their babies jaw id bring to trial
Sentencing them to life for snatching from the world their baby's smile
Id embrace the orphan child out in the cold
With a lifetime of warmth his ironed clothes id fold
But it’s just a dream nor do I have the power
We just have to wait till the final hour
When the parents who used their baby as an astray
Will feel the flames of hell on judgement day
A babies smile brings out the twinkle in your eye
Whilst a babies innocent tears make you cry
Every child is beautiful especially straight after their birth
Yet some evil parents snatch them from the face of the earth
Without giving the innocent a chance
To look at the truth with one last glance
Around the globe millions are dying
Meanwhile those in power aren’t even trying
Whilst others around the globe are fighting over the colour of skin
People are being cut up the same way you would cut a tin
They tell you it’s nothing just a bad dream
Then why do we still hear the innocent scream
