The Writing On the Wall

a scratch
a scar
        an inscription
carvings 
         as memorials
gravestones
and walls
            of a cave:
I was here
            we were here
we lived
we loved
we died
            now,no one
remembers
              our sighs
              our cries
....... our lives
