End of Square Dance

Echoing though out the might
Distinct songs fill the electrical air
Chords of varying tones dance around the guests

Bagpipes play melodic tones rich and smooth
Mystical rhythms and beats all of its own
Feet tapping as the music takes hold and stirs the souls

Waiting for the music to command them 
Through the vibrant music a strong voice calls out
Telling of the moves that should be followed

Familiar voice guiding everyone who attends
Keeping the flow smoothly going 
Laughter travels through the air

All has changed now  - those magical days are gone
Music has stopped playing on the selected nights
Laughter has faded silence now resides here
The familiar voice that once called out – silenced out loud forever

In a distant part of an aching sorrowful heart
A song and the voice – the memory of a dance
Silently play over again every day now
Such a solemn and grief filled time – memories are all that remain

Sierra Leon

Raptured by war 
                  Rebels overtake 
                  Clawed and torn apart
                  Death a familiar foe
                  Ashes instead of homes
                  Stranded - some escape
                  Not all make it alive
                  Woman and children
                  Captured for slavery
                  Obey or die!
                  Tortured and raped
                  Half Beaten to Death!
                  Silence or Consequence 
                  Limbs Lost as Punishment!
                  Cries and screans silenced
                  No one hears their silent pleas!
                  Unknown faces no one sees
                  Stories untold and forgotten
                  Precious and troubled souls
                  Endangered by our ignorance.
