Tears Apart

It is sad that we are
Drowning in our sorrow
While the world crumbles and
Rips itself apart.
Our sorrow mocks us
Causing tears to shed
While a lost boy aches
For his mother
How can these tears that we
Shed give us pity,
And agony of a mother
Not give?
How has shame gone to rot
Among the lying bodies
That are forgotten
Deep in the earth
That trembles and shakes
Like awakened nights
Without a loved one beside us.
The warmth of a touch
On the cold face
Of an infant in an everlasting dream.
While our dreams are forgotten
To chase the smiles
That were once stories being told
Around glowing eyes
Which have become but
Endless terror in an open prison.
As the whistleblower blows the news,
And the falterer hears the sound
On deafening ears it hums.
