Every Day

Every day
The world awakes

A billion people

Continue their lives


Every day

Someone dies

If you listen carefully

You’ll hear their cries


Every day

A baby is born

Given a name

As they sleep and yawn


Every day

A child is bullied

Scared and alone

He sobs on the floor


Every day

Two people get married

Declare their love

And walk up the aisle


Every day

A mother is beaten

By her husband

Who she once trusted and loved


Every day

Someone’s wishes are broken

As they break down

On a cold stone step


Every day

Is someone’s bad day

Their life won’t go right

They feel useless and worthless


Every day

Is the greatest day of someone’s lives

They go to bed happy

And smile as they sleep


Every day

Someone’s heart is broken

Its’ torn in two

As they watch their partner walk away


Every day

Someone goes on a date

Keeping their eye on the time

They don’t want to be late


Every day

Is someone’s last day in this world

But if they knew that

They might live it differently


Every day

Someone is diagnosed

With a terminal illness

They sink to the floor

In a puddle of a fear


Every day

Someone has their first kiss

They dance home in a trance

Replay that moment

A thousand times in their mind


Every day

Good rules out the bad

Evil defeats the glory

Pain and love collide


Every day

Death consumes another innocent person

And a tiny baby is wrapped in a blanket


Every day

Certain things happen

The dice of fate

Lands on each of us


It determines our futures

And alters our lives

Decides who to kill

And lets the rest survive


Every day

A new adventure starts

A story is told

As the day evolves


Every day

The sun shines

And a billion people

Live their lives.
