LAST NIGHT I CRIED by Reneé Drummond-Brown

LAST NIGHT I CRIED by Reneé Drummond-Brown

Last Night I Cried!

I cried for the babies

Which are born

I cried for the brokenness

Of family, foe and friends

Which are torn

I cried for the siblings

Trying to make it in

I cried for the children

And their generation

I cried for the homeless

And their friends

I cried for the wife

And her husband

I cried for the elderly

And their present condition

I cried for the teachers

And this so-called education

I cried for the Preachers

And their salvation

I cried for the widows

And their humiliation

I cried for both saved and unsaved

Without hesitation

I cried for the President

And our Nation

I cried for foreign countries

And their kin

I cried for racism

And the very present discrimination

I cried for the apartheid

And the segregation

I cried for poverty

And the ghettoization

I cried for loneliness

And resentment

I cried for seclusion

And isolation

I cried for divorce

And the separation

I even cried for self

And my own

Unforgiving sins!

But

On today

For

‘EVERYONE’

I prayed

For a new start

With a brand new begin

But

Until hearts change

On tonight

I’ll start crying all over again
