Empty Rooms
Cry out world
Cry out in agony
For the man you killed needlessly
Cry out for the woman
Trampled beneath roaring armies
Saluting soldiers
And sudden death
Cry out for those
Left alone in empty rooms
Cry out at the entombed,
the submerged,
the torn apart
Take two pieces to make the one
Take time and touch
Take love and life
To the man wandering in the desert
Uttering thoughts in solitude
I must give a hand
The desert is empty
and dead
Let us leave it.
