Two Lands, Two Journeys

Beneath the southern skies, two nations stand,
South Africa, rugged, bold, and grand,
New Zealand, serene, with hills that rise,
Both hold stories of the working class lives.

In South Africa, the sun burns bright,
Yet shadows fall on dreams each night,
A land of riches, of gold and ore,
Yet many struggle to find an open door.
Unemployment whispers through the air,
Dreams are heavy, hearts stripped bare.
Government promises, a fragile thread,
Many left hungry, their hopes unfed.

New Zealand, with green plains that sweep,
Offers jobs, but for some, they weep.
The system cares, a hand does lend,
But struggles persist, they never end.
Cost of living, a growing tide,
Wages and dreams don’t always collide.
Support exists, but gaps remain,
Even in paradise, there’s still pain.

Both lands bear the weight of toil,
Sweat of the brow, hands in the soil.
South Africa’s workers fight for rights,
While in New Zealand, they seek fair heights.
One dreams of more than just a chance,
The other fights to maintain the dance.

Oh, governments, hear the cry,
Of those who work beneath the sky.
South Africa, rise, let hope renew,
New Zealand, strengthen the safety net too.
For the working class, the heart, the soul,
Deserves the dignity of a greater goal.

Two lands, two journeys, yet the same plea,
To live, to thrive, to simply be free.

“Whispers of the Silent Cries”

In the land of green hills and skies so wide,
Where oceans kiss shores and rivers glide,
There’s a shadow cast on the brightest day,
Where the dreams of children slowly fade away.

“Whispers of the Silent Cries”

Tiny hands that should reach for the sun,
Grasp only hunger when the day is done.
Their laughter’s quiet, their hopes concealed,
In a world where empty plates are never healed.

Beneath the stars, their beds of stone,
In houses broken, they feel so alone.
The warmth of love seems so far to seek,
When all they taste is the bitter and weak.

We speak of futures, of wealth and might,
Yet turn our backs on their endless night.
Where are the answers? Where is the light
For those who hunger, out of sight?

In the heart of Aotearoa’s grace,
Are children longing for a safer place.
Their eyes reflect the pain untold,
A story written in streets so cold.

Compassion calls in whispers deep,
For the ones who starve, for the ones who weep.
Can’t we offer more than just a sigh,
When the tears of the hungry fill the sky?

With every coin, with every hand,
We build a bridge from sea to land.
To lift the little souls so frail,
To let their dreams again set sail.

So let us stand, united, strong,
Against a world where wrong is long.
For every child, let’s raise a song,
And promise them where they belong.

In the land of green hills and skies so bright,
May we banish hunger from the night.
With hearts of love, let’s lift the gloom,
And fill their world with endless room.

For every child deserves the chance
To laugh, to love, to sing, to dance.
To feel the warmth of a life that’s free,
And rise above their poverty.
