Whispers from the South


Whispers from the South


Weeping willows swaying in the sad wind
History reminds, leaves tracks in the soil
Red mud stained the palms of hands
Forgotten names and unknown images
Misleading information, corrupts what Remands in my mind. Stuck behind time.
Hands can’t reach, the hands who needed My help.
My ears were blocked from the Cries of the wounded, beaten, and killed.
Every sight is a new face, new voice,
Awakened sympathy and sadness
I’m sorry..
Air rippling through the atmosphere
Absorbing the stories told
Word after word fogs the sky
I see them, I feel them
Seeing those who were separated
Symbols broken
I shall remain informed

I hear you
