Somewhere by Jennifer Zhang

4/30/2007

Somewhere above that sky,
I dream of somebody warm, and loving.
somebody to understand me,
and hold me tight.
Some one who comforts me.
I sought for that person forever.
Now I know,
you were right by my side

Do you hear, Do you love by Jennifer Zhang

Do you hear the cries,
of those persecuted.
Do you hear the soft wails,
that echo through our lives.
Do you know?
Do you hear?

Do you know the pain,
that others have suffered?
Do you know the countless
names and faces of those,
who are gone?

Do you hear?
Do you know?

Cheater by Jennifer Zhang

4/19/2007

You pretended it was nothing,
when you broke my heart.
You shrugged in and akward way,
when I asked you, do you love
me.

Now I know the answer,
you never even cared,
you never thought about me
again.
I gave you my heart and what
what did you do?
you ripped it apart.

Now I sit here,
thinking about you,
still suffering,
still crying.
The pain is still fresh,
just like the day,
when you cheated on me.

The Light of Dawn by Jennifer Zhang

4/13/2007

In the final hour, I weep with fear
in despair and terror.
I am forced to my knees to beg and plead,
drained of all hope that was once there.
Fooled of the alibi of the black gold,
and wheedled out of my money by overfed chiefs.
What should I do in this time of terror?
What should I say in this time of hate?
