Again my poem - Another Day

Yes , I did post it here before in October 2017 .Today it is just as actual as 2 years ago ....
This week we learned about violence against 2 (young) Indian women.

I wrote this poem 2 years ago , because of the fatal shooting in Las Vegas where about 89 people were killed.But the case of these Indian women is just as tragic ...



The latest victim was on her way to court , when she was kidnapped and set on fire ...
She is now in hospital but is in critical condition.

----- Another Day -----

So , there is a new day
From which (again) YOU cannot run away

The weak sunray glance
May inspire for a new chance

And over a cup of coffee
YOU try to oversee

Your existence's moral ground
That YOU thought , YOU had found

And YOU can picture perfectly
How your future was meant to be

But YOU wonder how
All your ideals are so far away now

And what can YOU do ?
Is it YOU against YOU ?

Are YOU fighting against your defeat ?
Is it always the " same enemy " to beat ?

Life is not a big party for ALL
For some , luck may never call

But always try to be at your best
Perhaps even better than the rest

So , it is a new day ,
But .. YOU .. may not know ,
What will come your way ,

---- TODAY ----

There are many more people who don't know , what tomorrow may bring.I think of the victims of war ,
the refugees , emigrants on rubber boats , victims of trafficking and so on .

I hope that she will survive ... But after that ...
What outlook on life will she have ... ??
It is all very sad .....
