Screams
Listen....
Do you hear the screams?
Sliced and broken,
Falling to the ground.
Can you hear their mourning?
Homes destroyed,
Life shattered,
The one death affected many.
Can you hear their crying?
Blades thrash through them,
No care to how THEY feel,
I don't think they want to be burned to a crisp.
Can you hear their screeching?
It's like the Holocaust ALL OVER again!
Life after life,
Taken from the earth.
Innocent, no more, but dead.
Can you hear their sighing?
They are dead,
Last breath taken,
Last look at their destroyed home.
Is this how your Earth should die?
