Gone

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
