the rain falls from the sky
           as the dark clouds roll by.

nobody looked up
            
           as the cold air sweeps by
in silence they heard a sound.

no tear have dropped
           yet everyone was crying.

the sky shed the tears
      of the hearts that have cried.

in silence,
              everybody heard the sound.
in stillness,
              a life was taken.


if only, if only...
                       they had known what have been done.
