Silent Tears

 

Oh Peace!                                                               

Where are you

On the mountain top I searched

Along the plains and lowlands I searched

In the deepest valleys I searched

Seems you left us

Gone too far to be traced

Wherever you are

Please make haste to return

Lest the heart flood with silent tears

That tender heart is bleeding

Anguish rips through the vessels of the being

The soul shivers with the midday sun 

Like a captive in the shackles of despair

Longing for the hour of freedom

To set at rest the silent tears

The land of peace turned a land of battle

Bullets have become morning breakfast

Fear, maliciousness, mistrust on full scale

Taking of life, a secret ornament no more

In the middle of shambles are the Innocent

Wailing and waiting for the gods to intervene

Just to set at rest the silent tears

knights many they say they are,

Setting rules man dare not,

Yet lips can’t speak

Nor the scribes can’t inscribe

Lest they become premium steaks

For creatures of the underground world

That wait patiently as drip on, the silent tears

Peace! Peace! Peace!

Please make haste to return

The land is under fire

Literacy is under threat

Commerce is under threat

Faith is under threat

Life is under threat

Come back and take your place

Overcome the tomfoolery with thy charm

Invade the darkest of hearts

Break the chains of maliciousness

And set to rest the silent tears
