We are living in the gap
between the way things are
and the way they will be.
We are living in the gap
between starving children
and MTV,
living in the gap
between military budgets
and illiteracy.
We are living in the gap
between the world that’s coming,
and this world we see
“No more crying then,
No more dying then
No more sighing then”.
But in this mean time,
our arms are stretched
to breaking point
trying to hold onto
something, anything
in this gap between
hope and pain
this gap between
you and me,
this gap in our lives
where you had been.
