SILENT SCREAMS

 

My friend, look down

Look no further

For your shadow peeks at you

It speaks to you about your broken feather

Silent as it is

It seeks to seep

To dig deep

And weep with you

 

Silent scream

Voices that dream and dream

Burdened mother on earth’s gruesome whim

Choices that whip and spin

This is the journey begun

This is the voiceless scream

 

Silent scream

This is the cream

Cream of all hope found and lost

A forest burnt once and lost

A river that weeps with no tears

A stream that screams with no voice

 

My friend, look down

For your shadow speaks with you

It pleads with you

Silent as it is

It reeks to win

To dig deep

And weep with you

 

For the time of the bird is now gone

For all hope is now gruesomely torn

Torn away from our grasp

Thrown away by winds that erode very sharp

And the sky remains empty

Null and void

And the truth can never be told

For the bold bird left long ago

 

The truth cannot be set free

And my eyes are blinded,

They cannot see

Cannot see that we are now bees,

Working for honey we must not taste

Searching for a sky that is now lost to fate

And yet we shout at the top of our voices

But all they hear are our silent screams
