poem#7: the voice

don't listen to the whistling air of bullets,

come and hear my lullabies

don't look through the window,

where forest fires raged in the skies

hold your breath and hold tight, the sun is about to set

night will fall and the wolves will chase us now

angels are masked with the face of a devil

they shoot their guns and hit the innocent ones

blood are the tears they shed for justice

and it rains upon their proud and selfish faces,

let's not waste time but pray

that the daylight will seek it's way

come now, my love, sleep and dream of a paradise

we'll be flying somewhere safe and sound

rusty movements and anguish cries,

roaring thunders and shaking grounds

fall behind, hide in plain sight

the bad ones sneak for it's prey,

stumbling, falling into darkness

no words can express the pain that you're feeling

you watched as it takes you lower to the ground

and by the time they're gone, you'll cry

....asking yourself, why?
