On Cloud Nine




Oppressed, rejected and left out,
Nine out of ten, killed.
Could the wars be more ruthless?
Love, shattered into a million peices,
Orphaned, uncountable souls,
Undermining the value of joy,
Death, desperation, dignity - The world has lost it's all.
Neither hatred, Nor insecurity,
Is ever going to bring the laughter back,
Nursed I, a tiny wish forever,
Everyone be on cloud nine, together.

Okay, I re-read this over and over again.

Umm, I am able to establish a loose connection between "on cloud nine" and the rest of the lines. That's highly wishful thought you have there, considering the harshness of the real situation. And, that was exactly what was making me sceptical of the usage.

Any ways, I admire the effort. Good luck!
