I saw it
Staring
back at me
it stood
years in
the making
A wall
The misery
and death
The
tortured, the wounded
The dying
screams
collected
And made a
wall
Always
present,
over
everything, everyone
It is all
there is
all I see
I carry
them
Entirely
our creation
We made
this
The years
of blankess
The tears
and pain
The cries
collected
I carry
them,
in my head
We made
this
Stop and
stare and say:
I don't
care
Let me be
Bullets
pierce through silent air
Here is
where life ends
The dead,
the hungry
images in
newsreels
Snapshots
of misery
Shock turns
to fear turns to apathy
and finally
I don't
care
I don't see
We made
this
Laugh and
turn your back
ignore the
injustice
ignore the
crime
Building
It is
building now
It is
growing
bigger
louder
Turn your
eyes away
leave your humanity
The other
side, I see it
alive
When light
will pierce through
the black
of our deeds
and the
eternity of our apathy
When it
will end
I see them
now
They're
waiting,
to be freed
For us to
listen
to one day
heed the
call of the
bloodstained
roses
It will be
soon
When
sunlight will gently kiss your face once more
And the
tears will burn away
There,
where a
smile will live
forever
I saw it
