Conflicts in the Universe

BY Chinaya Brown

How cruel are you?

You brought me to my knees

And beat me down at every opening

Until I screamed in agony

You gave me tender dreams

Just to beat it out of me

And drag me through hell

Coughing up blood

You gave me a home within their eyes  

Just to keep me lost ashore 

And die alone

How cruel are you to watch me suffer

And leave me barely alive 

So you can do it again

How cruel are you?
