In sadness tears spill all the time
Regardless, the world is acting fine.
So many people with laughing eyes
But some just look up to the skies
And wish a part of them would leave,
Leave them be and let them grieve
For times gone by, for years past
Just let them go and fly so fast.

In happiness tears flow the same
With a different taste and without blame.
A life of gladness what a thought
Where deep mistrust was never taught.
Just sun and smiles and lollipops,
With hugs and frills and bunny hops.
A wonderful time from birth to death
Who’d say ‘I wouldn’t change’ in their dying breath?

Tears of bitterness will run
For many people who’ve just begun
To find a way far from this crowd,
Away from cruelty which speaks so loud.
How must that river of many tears
Eroded this land over all those years!
Deep ravines created from dirty deeds
Yet sometimes hope grows from rotten seeds.
