throughout history we are brutal
and even today
ignorance lives strongly to ego serving
self righteousness over nearly everything
beyond inclusions of racisms and prejudices...

Another Gallows Bird

Echoic songs from the youth of poverty
Shipwrecked souls line up one by one
They are awaiting the forlorn noose to freedom
Wooden planks creak releasing destitutions fear
Solemnity weighs within the heavy wrought burdens
Death rows sever to punish from ignorant eyes
Can you hear the songs moan over the valley singing?
As another gallows bird swings from the empty sky…
