How

How dark is black
If one can't see
Through a child's eyes
So blissful with glee

How warm is a hug
For a lonely orphan
Longing to be loved
And cherished by someone

How loud is the silence
In this crowded room
If no one listens
In any of the tune

How painful is the wound
With no bloodstains
Instead, traces of tears
From the eye remains

How someone can be so cruel
Not to understand at all
How can selfishness rule
Inside somebody's soul
