Silent Screams {White Crosses}

White Crosses by the road

Silent Screams in the night

You can hear them if you're still

Wailing on the wind...



Memento Moris, dire warnings

Symbols of the dead

All along the twisting canyon

Crucible of dread

Upon your way, a careful eye

Or become The Reaper's prize...



Little one, what have you done

To deserve such a fate

Cold and dark, chained and bound

Streeled across the road

Morning dew upon your face

Blood and tears, final grace...



White Crosses by the road

Silent Screams in the night

You can hear them if you're still

Wailing on the wind...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

When traveling on Devil's Canyon Road, one spots white crosses at a few spots marking where some tragic accident occurred, serving as a warning to those who would recklessly speed along its way.

There was a case of a young girl was once dragged behind a car, and when spotted by another motorist, the female passenger briefly stepped out of the car and screamed, then returned within, then the car sped off.
