My
dear, little ones…
by Apolinario Villalobos
It pains me to see how the world
Crumbles under the weight of greed
How life buckles with the pain of despair
I am so sad that what will be left for all
of you
Will be a world shrouded with the bleak
sorrow.
Gone will all the birds be, that fly
Grass and flowers in the meadows
Fish in the oceans, rivers, and creeks
The butterflies and bees that seek nectar
And, so will the wind…stilled by the dire
war.
All those are due to man’s greed
So ravenous are his appalling desires
But let’s not lose hope…pray, pray, pray
As the kindly Lord, to us, may again take
pity
That tomorrow’s world, be blessed with His
mercy!
