Silent tears are shed <br />echoed through the mountains <br />carried by the breeze <br />as man falls to his knees. <br /> <br />Vultures take flight <br />as innocents die <br />easy prey <br />as their last prayer is silenced. <br /> <br />Land and oil <br />taken with force <br />as walls are built <br />and voices ignored. <br /> <br />The world looks on oblivious <br />their only concern <br />their own shallow lives <br />hypnotized by rich man's lies. <br /> <br />They forgot the ten commandments <br />thy shalt not kill <br />thy shalt not lie <br />thy shalt not worship anyone but I.<br /><br />Maria Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-book-of-life-9/
