Can You Hear It?
Can you hear it?
can you hear them?
the screams of pain echoing
across cold grains of sand
the moon enveloped in a haze
of smoke and dust
kicked up by the army
ants, treading through the maze
of villages
fear the new language
fear the new mind-set
tensions high
love low
can you hear it?
through all the blood and
the weeping of mothers
there might actually be the
sounds of a sweet bird
singing a song of hope an love
amongst the rubble and decay
the song of hope may be
heard again. or will it....
