Who hears
plaintive crying?
Deaf ears.
Closed eyes.
Fragile spirit
dead lies.
Life lost,
shallow the grave.
What cost?
Stained cheek,
for tender soul.
I'll speak.
Raised voice
throat spewing words.
What choice?
Touch hearts,
defy the hate.
Change starts.

Short but Sweet!
Love the form and depth of very few words said in a loud voice. Your write is exceptional, thank you for entering it in my contest.
Blessed Be~
