Silent pleas call out.

Whispers of help float about.

Cries of denial escape.

Shouts of defiance ring out.

Yells of sorrow rent the air.

Screams of agony bleed the ears.

There is no help for them.

Can’t get there in time.

Forgetting they exist is advised.

But the cries forever stay;

Stagnant in the air.

Never fading.

Never stilling.

Forever there.
