Distorted

Sew shut my eyes,

For I cannot bear

To see man’s inhumanity

To man anymore.

Wars, murders, butchering

The innocent; I do not

Want to watch.

Slice off my ears,

For I cannot bear

To hear the screams

Of despair anymore.

Instigation of castigation

Of the innocent; I do not

Want to listen.

Glue closed my mouth,

For I cannot bear

To speak the truth

To the world anymore.

Vocalization, articulation,

No one listens; I do not

Want to speak anymore.

My soul cries out in pain,

My soul cries out in vain.

Tightly chain my limbs,

For I cannot bear

To walk this filthy

Path anymore.

Debris of death

Of the innocent; I do not

Want to move anymore.
