JOY IN THE MORNING


.
When eventide runs,
like a sprinter sprinting,
trees sweating profusely
for the combat which they had with the wind.
let your sorrow die with the night,
because there will be joy in the morning.
.
When cloud of shame,
Fell upon Cane like rain,
the blood of Abel crieth vengeance,
someone help me tell Abel
let your sorrow die with the night,
because there will be joy in the morning.
.
When bombings dominated the earth,
nuclear missiles as I heard,
claimed the life of our dear brothers,
and some it gave a present – paralysis
let your sorrow die with the night,
because there will be joy in the morning.
.
We develop phobia for one another,
Fears acquainting with a suicide bomber,
All our night watch cowers,
No one to give his life for our ward.
let your sorrow die with the night,
because there will be joy in the morning.
.
Our land a natural desert,
Growing, sorrows, hatred and thorns on our mild heart,
poverty wakes with us each morning  yawning,
Will peace ever walk in our country?
without fear being victim to carnage?
let your sorrow die with the night,
because there will be joy in the morning.
