The Walk

The Walk ..!!

Jill walked the road alone..
To the place she called home..!!
In the darkness of night,
She heard the crying souls..!!
Urging to come along..
But all there was the voices and no one in sight..!!
Her heart felt heavy..
And her eyes were moist..!!
The pain in their voice was to much to bear..
She heard a child cry,
And the old mother looking for her lost son...!!
All were left alone, to die on their own..
The child was a burden, so was the mother..!!
What has become of this world??
Where everyone has their own selfish reasons..!!
Jill wanted to help, but was to scared to turn around..
Thinking of the horror she might see..
With a tear in her eye she walked along...!!
What could she possibly do, as she too was just eleven...    
She started run too into the darkness...
Trying to reach her home...!!
Soon she too was no where to be seen...
After  her cries become one of those..!!
As the cries became louder...
As they knew the next was to come soon...!!
