no wakes for dying loyalty,
For those who die screaming for help
from the hands that murder them.

There is no anguish
for innocent eyes defiled and filled with terror,
for unconditional love rebuked
and repaid with suffering

There are no mourners for stolen freedom,
for spirits raped in horror
because hearts scarred in lethargy
cannot feel the torment in their minds

But shedding tears is only important
until all the lamenting in the world
cannot change the horror, or make it right. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 55 [informant] => ArdRi79 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Every day I get nearer and nearer to your position. It's only my selfishness and greed,
and being inured for seventy odd years that
leaves me doing nothing to change this.

I''ll try

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
