Unanswered

quietly, I observe the stillness
the solitude of the morning
with only birds announcing
the dead remains of the night
and a fresh beginning to the
plight if living in this world;

respectfully, I call upon the
heavens to change the ways of life
but for sixty years those pleas
have remained unanswered and
the crisis in our souls worsens;

unconsciously, but collectively
we brought ourselves here and
consciously collectively is the
only way to change, yet there
are those who see no evil in
what they do only in our efforts
to put an end to their evilness.
