somewhere

its always midday somewhere
somewhere the church bells ring
somewhere the sun shines brightly
somewhere the children sing
somewhere someones crying
sad to meet the noon
somewhere there's no tomorrow
just sadness, dread and gloom
somewhere's just around the corner
be ready
it's coming soon

I agree with Ashe and Fog. Also, this poem is very well written.

I like this poem so much. The way you go through life, first easy and general, then true and hurtful. Pain and happiness will reach all of us at different times. Beautiful!!

I like how this begins with good and pleasant things and then recognizes that somewhere and for some there is equally the difficult and unpleasant, and the ominous warning that so it may yet be for us. Had you written of only the one or the other it wouldn't seem a complete poem or a true comment on the nature of existence.
