Voices

 

Six Million voices

Call out to us

In the darkness

Of the night

Begging don’t forget us

Their sorrow and

Their plight.

A plague was brought

Upon us

Black eagles

Engulfed the land

Sixty years of sadness

The young don’t understand

That what once

Came amongst us

Can rise

Again unasked

If we don’t pay attention

To the voices

Of the past.
