Darfur.
Pain stained war.
Bitter uncaring indifference's..
Plagued by sad faces and mobbed places.
Our far away existence
sharing the same sky
darkened..
Now
aligned.
Your many senseless cries heard.
Unimaginable anguish and suffering,
you witness and feel.
Your children..
You against incredible odds.
Those...
We will never know.
I ask why... why?
All I can do is cry.
No answers no understanding...
All eluding rationality and sweet sweet humanity.
Compassion late and abandoned.
Tenderness and love forgotten.
Dark empty souls, celebrate another
selfish and cruel act to partake,
themselves accustomed and numb.
My knees drop, accumulation of tears
filling up and seeping through the cracks
in my deep heart.
For my understanding,
gifted with more frustration and
your many fears.
Baskets filled with grim sadness and broken dreams.
Brutality forced on the smallest
not swift enough to run.
Weakened trying to survive.
What your eyes must see.
Injustice will soon take it's finale step
and the torturer will be known
In a constant sound of a lonely drum,
realizing he is now forever alone.
My dream...
A ship,
the cargo..
Hearts.
All shapes sizes,
unfolding all the frightful grips.
Sacrifices made
foundations laid..
Returned lost days.
Hearts handed out one by one
leading you..
To that peaceful place.
