The New Tears

Tears were the language
they once use to speak
of their pain. 
Their ravenous memories
have a tendency of feeding
on the flesh of the rain.
Vines of inhumanity and 
injustice grow wild and 
intertwine
around the tables of 
their minds 
clock wasn't made to tell the
tales of good time.
  
Tears become a unspoken
language because they
Bond their lips with ribbons 
of silence and swear not to cry 
any more but 
the evident of Silence later
broken into intangible pieces
as they start to hum out
their pains.

Humming later become their 
New tears
They Hummmmmmmmm and 
Hummmmmm with a tones 
agony 
and Their voice congregate and
But yet to shake the great wall 
of sympathy.  
The earth inhabited by their
 rebellious humming that 
frequently 
climbs the steers of the air. 
 
They hum and hum until 
humming 
become a pillow-soft-melody on 
every tongues of the poor.
