Cry Silent in Depair


animals weep at the hand of their male masters,

bullied children cry in restrooms after school,

uncontrolled wildfires perform nature’s bidding,

children’s bodies invaded by herion so that others can live,

crooks and liars pour alcohol over their victim’s bodies,

priests rape little boys so that “last rites” can be performed,

nature learns to cry in silence when mankind comes a knocking at the door,

brutality begets brutality over land that belongs to neither,

divorce sanctions re-marriages and children live in darkness,

Asians have replace Hispanics who have replaced blacks who have replaced while and only the fool on the hill seems to notice the change,

cancer patients die daily while others live in a no rhyme or reason way

and education seems to remain on the bottom of the list; so,

who will cry after I am done crying,

who will cry after I am gone,

who will cry for the animals who love us unconditionally,

who will cry for the sea creatures who are next in line,

who will care for mankind as we weep at the hands of each other,

because we are too busy reporting to care?
