Silent screams, unborn screams
Children robbed of life

Yet you cannot hear
The screams I hear
You cannot feel the guilt
Humanity must bear
As the new slaughter
Of the innocents
Continues on and on

And at your feet you cannot see
This bloody river raging
Down your streets and
O'er your bloodtsained hands

And you sit there and ignore
The chills running down my spine
And the screams piercing
The sacred silent night. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 25 [informant] => MrMojoRisin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

The Silent Screams

Contributed by MrMojoRisin on Saturday, 19th June 2004 @ 01:36:13 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems

A thousand screams pierce the air
Silent screams, unborn screams
Children robbed of life

Yet you cannot hear
The screams I hear
You cannot feel the guilt
Humanity must bear
As the new slaughter
Of the innocents
Continues on and on

And at your feet you cannot see
This bloody river raging
Down your streets and
O'er your bloodtsained hands

And you sit there and ignore
The chills running down my spine
And the screams piercing
The sacred silent night.

I like it very much, but may I point out a few things that could be changes? Second to last stanza, wouldn't the idea of 'bloodstained' be after hands. Before implies they were already bloody. Or maybe I'm confused. And maybe it should be "ignore the chills running down your// spine" instead of mine. Just my thoughts. Anywho, A very good read indeed. 9 and ¾ outa 10.

Blessed Be,
Tink
