Years.. Years

A long way
It's a long way.. One year is never enough.


By the end of every year, a pain sneaks into my heart.
A year just passed, did anything change?
A lost child we have seen yesterday... Did he ever get back to his mother?
A homeless family we knew... Is it safe today?
A mother crying over her son. A little orphan. A lonely old man. Have their tears dried up yet, or did they just overlook the sadness?
Forgotten books.... Missing cultures that once pioneered... Knowledge we try to preserve... Are they remembered today? or.. will they be, tomorrow?
Year after another. Nothing has changed.
We still call for unity. But we no longer work for it.
We study. But we don't learn.
We teach. But no one wants to learn.
We complain about injustice. We see it every day, but no one says a word.
We reject racism. But we practice it.
Many other things, still as they ever were.
A year has passed. And I don't know how!
