Shattered dreams
Crushed hope
Torn from life
No end in sight
Means to help
But none to go
Watch
Wait
And hope
Hope for those
Whose hope is gone
Watch and watch
The wait is grueling
The fight not happening
Standing by
How could I
Yet my choice is not my own
I follow my leaders
The cries I hear In my dreams
They call out
They cry
My shattered soul mourns
For the fallen
For my brothers
For my sisters
I close my eyes and cry
Why did we stay here
When we could have stopped the mayhem
