Today

Today we cry more than we laugh.                                                           Today we have more lies told than truth.                                       Today we have powerful nations but more wars.                         Today we have more acquaintances than friends.                       Today we have better health services but more sickness and death.                                                                                                     Today we have more guns but less food.                                        Today we have houses and not homes.                                           Today we have contracts than marriages.                                                Today we have more broken homes even with double incomes.                                                                                                      Today we have more rape cases though women are more than men.                                                                                                Today we live in more fear despite advancement in technology.                                                                                             Today we are heading towards ourselves distruction.               Today we are more racist yet we preach GOD.                               Today we need a total change in us humans for our children and our children's children  .
