when?

how could this be?
that we are always getting troubles
yet! for the best we always hoped
from all spheres of life
we got problems too hot to handle
some of which seems endless
so i seat, think and wonder
about life and humanity
and i asked, how long shall this last?
and when shall the table turn
that we may also be free
totally free from oppression
when shall we know freedom
when shall this come to pass?
dying mothers and children
lamenting people
and helpless dying individuals
a whole family
keep going down the drain
and the question is
when shall all come to pass?
when the prisoners will be freed
the destitute feel the taste of hope
and the hated know what is love
as peace prevails
among the fighters
mercy in the eyes of the wicked
when?
