Silent Streets
The young walk on the solemn streets,
seeing all the damage
Still air and empty seats,
simple silent streets
Gone though once, gone through twice
eroded what is man
Still air and empty seats,
simple silent streets
Actions evil and uncivilized
from centers come
Still air and empty seats,
simple silent streets
Marching men in uniform
saluted for security
Still air and empty seats,
simple silent streets
Rome’s pillars collapse, relieved
they have steely company
Still air and empty seats,
simple silent streets
Huddled away, praying, alone
no one is there anymore
Still air and empty seats,
simple silent streets
