House of Stone Mass Grave


The wind of change 
Blew off dust settled on my eyes, 
I saw living corpses 
Strolling the streets of urban.

It blew away the cloth 
Tied around my face,
I beheld the mass grave 
Of peasant farmers who died 
From void promises for land.  

The wind erased 
Rhetoric from my psyche,
I discovered the skeletal currency;
Bones of a long breath departed economy.

I saw dead hospitals,
The ill buried alive in their homes.
I am a son of the soil
Living in a mass grave House of Stone.
