No escape
In my heart dwells the pain of the oppressed
Rivers of their wounds pour down
Drenching the ocean of my sorrow
I am the voice of the voiceless
The cry of the browbeaten
The howl of little ones
As they fade away
My whispers shoot like bullets
In the ears of the wicked
My words explode
Before his eyes
Muting his lies
He looks away
Pretending not to see
Not to hear
My murmurs pierce his bubble
My tortured shadow follows
No escape
He runs to bed
Covers his head
Sleep might rid him of me
My chopped limps chase his dream
He drowns in my tears
In my blood
Unable to breathe
Unable to cry
No escape
Time passes
…………………
……………………
……………………
Then he dies
……………………
…………………….
…………………….
Only to be greeted with my smile
He’d hoped he’d never see
As he was chained and dragged away
To meet his deeds
No escape
