Tears Streaming
A young girl five years of age waits for her mother at the train station.
She holds her teddy bear tightly.
She stands alone with tears streaming down her face.
All the strangers walk past her without any knowledge of her exsistence.
A young boy ten years of age stands alone in the dust filled room.
He watches the door violently swing open.
He stands alone with tears streaming down his face.
All the strangers move in and raise their guns to shoot.
A young woman fifteen years of age stands alone on a street corner.
She holds a crying newborn pleading for food.
She stands alone with tears streaming down her face.
All the strangers walk past like she was never there.
A young man twenty years of age stands lays alone on the bloodstained floor.
He holds up his hands screaming in agony.
He lays alone with tears streaming down his face.
All the strangers run past him for he is a ghost.
A woman twenty-five years of age sits alone in her home.
She hugs her dead son close to her chest.
She sits there alone with tears streaming down her face.
All the strangers look on without noticing her.
A man thirty years of age stands alone at the corner of a street.
He puts one hand over his heart and another held out.
He stands there alone with tears streaming down his face.
All the strangers cross the street to avoid him.
A woman thirty-five years of age sits alone in her car.
She tries to breath in as much air as her half collapsed lungs can take in.
She sits there alone with tears streaming down her face.
All the strangers ride on by unseeing her die.
A man forty years of age stands at the tombstones.
He looks down at the names and whimpers.
He stands there alone with tears streaming down his face.
All the strangers pay him no mind.
A woman forty-five years of age lays alone at the bottom of the staircase.
She tries to move her broken limbs before he come for her again.
She lays there alone with tears streaming down her face.
All the strangers look as they pass her by.
A man fifty years of age lays alone on his kitchen floor.
He tries to make it to the phone pushing the pills over.
He lays there alone with tears streaming down his face.
All the strangers were gone.
A woman fifty-five years of age lays alone in her bathtub.
She took one last breath of water.
She lays there alone with tears streaming down her face.
All the strangers were home.
The tears will never stop falling and lives will never be saved if we all just look away.
There is no heaven for a souless being.
We should never be alone with tears streaming down our faces.
We should be no stranger, we should be there.
