they are our own

 



through all of the chaos
piercing the lips of my poetry

duped by the light of hope that never comes in
through the inquiry of the nearly defeated

as all the leaders play with paper dolls and tin soldiers

fear the tyrants rant

our beliefs become lies beaten and drummed by time

alone and lost down  those dusty roads


and then the lost have to decide

to cross borders of the unknown


did we hear


are those cries and shrieks at night

is it pain from all of the refugees we hear

 

or,

 

are they our own


they are our own
