Pawns
Roses bloomed in the sky; bodies tossed aside
No one hears the screams
One look to another, a mirror
Frozen in fear
Headlights at a deer
Blood, smoke, nothing is clear.
…
You say you know, know what?
Silent screams imprinted and stamped, the deafening ring, sharpening pierce
Bodies painted red, gripped by small hands
Of rivers we bled, not lily pads but dead bodies
Bodies used to build your palace, the place you sleep, the place you eat, the place you sit on your haughty throne. Crown of fingers, crown of bullets.
Hidden by sleek clean wear, you walk on stage with utter less fear
I condemn you for your performance!
The way your words dance, more less
You say you know, know what?
Save us? We fled for life, we fled to heaven, you force us to meet the grim reaper when you say you’ re doing what’s best.
You hold us alive yet dead inside.
…
Don’t say those words with such fake empathy, you bring only insult
You do what you want, you lie what you do, like wound and salt
Voice rang with war; our screams dwindled like ripples
Ripples unnoticeable if so, our voice too crippled?
Once we are gone
Realize what you have done.
Because in your eyes, innocent lives are more less than pawns.
