"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." -Albert Einstein


Hear our singing
We may be dead, but our voices live on.
My family sings together every night,
We cry our help, but no one comes
Hear our cries! Free us!
We get no visitors, we are lonely.
We never wanted to die like this!
The building crumbles
The house is destroyed!
We are no longer captives to the basement
We are free!
We are free!
You now may not hear our voices
But our presence lives on!
We are no longer captive!
We are free!

I wrote this about the rumors of the Romanovs' ghost haunting the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and how when the building was demolished in 1977 they would be free.
