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
