suffer

with all the suffering and pain,
all the death and disease,
with the hail and the rain,
how can we carry on with ease,

lonliness suits us as we deserve,
anything god chooses,
his people are dying, noone cares,
i just feel like confuscious,

finally some support, some aid,
in the midst of death comes light,
no more ignoring those in the shade,
no more hiding in the night,

the suffering is about to end!



if you like or dislike any of my work then give me feedback, it's the only way i can get better, thank you in advance.
p.s. i was hoping on giving this in in college, what do you think?

I like 1st & 3rd verses. they are tight & work well. Verse 2 however, I think needs some work. It breaks with the rhythm & the rhyming of the other 2.

Also, I don't get the confucious reference as he is normally used to represent wisdom or enlightenment, which doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the verse.

"with the hail and the rain" - LOVE this line
"in the midst of death comes light"
I like these lines. The use of the word 'midst'.
Although personally I think the others need a bit of fixing..
Your general idea is good though!
