every day tears fall
all over the world
like a global monsoon
the tears flow from
a cosmos of numberless hearts
a universe of endless sorrows
loved ones murdered
loved ones killed in wars
loved ones taken from
this world far too young
from terminal diseases
and many more tragedies
and unexpected losses
of lives dear to
all those people
afflicted with
the downpours
of countless tears
will grieve endlessly
from sorrows they never
expected to fall
into their carefree lives
