Two Tears

Two tears fell from furious eyes 
Both of growing size 
Though one came first and the other last 
Both of them made a blast 

The ground was filled with tears and blood 
Came flowing like rushing flood 
The eyes that called the tears were drowned 
To deep sorrow they were bound 

How can the call of calming tune 
Halt the furious tears from falling, 
When the hearts struck by sand and stone 
Were the ones that did the calling?

How can flowers bloom on fertile ground 
When they are cut before they grow, 
When the pipes that call the calming sound
Are tore down before they blow?
