Handle�s messiah is playing on the radio here

Soft voice of hurt women can be heard there

Christmas carols are sang in churches here

Screams for help are heard there

Love and compassion are filling the atmosphere here

Frustration, hatred and anger are the norm there

Malls are filled with goods here

Starving people are waiting for food there

Homes are filled with families and guests here

Houses are demolished on people there

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year is a wish here

Agony and despair is the feeling there 

Can we feel for each other here and there?
