My Friend

Early morning before the dawn
To hungry to sing this song
The time to eat to waist my precious day
I forgot to pray

My friend the pain the harbour song
Packed fish hundreds of ten the unskilled labour of a thousand men

My friend the family man, soldier to his nation
Feast the ocean for those who pray
My friend the pain the harbour song
A thousand men obey

Silent act for power
A man reveals his hatred for a nation
Biological warfare the cancer disease
A thousand children on their knees

Christian, Muslim we must believe
Destination globalization
Our children, the future civilization
A thousand men, the harbour song
What is left my friend?
The ocean

Again I forgot to pray
I was sick the pain
A thousand men my friend, died today
Violent act, I heard the radio play

My friend the sea of turmoil
I had food today
Thank you Lord, I will obey

The harbour song of a thousand men
I will sing this song to you my friend
The harbour song I pray

This poem was dedicated to a friend and his battle with cancer.
Inspiration, well that most probably originated from the heartache displayed in the faces from those families who have lost family and friends during Sept 11th.
