Voices
Voices scream into my consciousness
Wails of mothers weeping for babes cursed to be born
Lamentations of spirits unbroken by the passions of the lash
Whimpers of daughters writhing at hands with beastly scorn
Shouts of fathers angered by attempts failed to intercede
Cries of those who set themselves against inhuman enemy
Protests of sons revolted with their creed
Sighs of those who took that fatal step off into infinity
Praises of those convinced their salvation's in the sky
Confessions of aspirations beaten by fears
Groans of those who knew the way to go was die
Pleas, begging mercy, fill my ears
Heavenly Father! They implore I appear
A dirge floods the Earth with my tears
