We Forgot a Country and Missed a Generation
January 8, 2009
The panic gripped bodies
Chains and shackles anchored ships
Winds shattered minds
Children screamed beneath the whips
The sounds were muffled by the fear
It was real it was near
Frozen below the ancient rock
They stood still like stone
But shine like marble
Precious were their hearts
But no one could see them through the shadows
Genocides and wars
Routine like second nature
So hold your lungs
Don’t shift your eyes
For fear can change the faces
But the face of fear will still remain
In our hearts
And in these places
