Listen to the children cry <br />Listen to mortals when they die <br />Listen to that deceptive lie <br />Listen to those reasons why <br />Listen.. Listen.. <br /> <br />Listen to hearts that are scared <br />Listen to violence through lead <br />Listen to hatred ancestors bred <br />Listen to the colour red <br />Listen.. Listen.. <br /> <br />Listen to the poor unfed <br />Listen to the lives they have led <br />Listen to the feelings unsaid <br />Listen to what goes through their head <br />Listen.. Listen.. <br /> <br />Listen to the power abused <br />Listen to the intelligence misused <br />Listen to the innocent accused <br />Listen to those bastards amused <br />Listen.. Listen.. <br /> <br />Listen to the covenants unkept <br />Listen to the affliction of depth <br />Listen to the graves unslept <br />Listen to the world or what is left <br />Listen.. Listen..<br /><br />Lynette Dias Gouveia<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/listen-3/
