CRIES FROM BEHIND

history must cry
posterity must judge
we lay aflown
on the winds of the past
me thinks that we are here
'cause it happened there
.
whispers from behind
bellows akind
the wind constitute
our carriage they form
the world is here
'cause it had flown from there
.
cries of sorrows
tears of pain
simmerings of the tyrants
clashes of war
they are still here
'cause it started there
.
tears of mamas
tears of papas
tears of babies
tears of siblings
we know it here
but it was stronger there
.
woes of empires
words of emperors
squeezing of saints
lynching of voices
trace it from here
it will lead you to there
.
philosophies, teachings, discoveries
they peddle us their help
purveyors of eternal freesbies
still granting their solemn help
from then till now, yea here
they've been through it all from there
.
tears of pain, tears of joy
things nothing can destroy
they scream from behind
they flow from history
reaching us here
'cause they saw us there
