"When Wordz Cry"


When words cry out.

Will its meaningful voice be heard or die out?

Poetic poets are misquoted by people who sugar-coat it.

The truth must be heard and noticed by both vets and novice, But yet.

I hear death crying out from a distance.

Protestors fighting for freedom with boards and posters.

They drop to the floor as death blows kisses upon the cheeks of resistance.....

Upon its shoulders their bodies grow colder.

But yet their words will forever burn inside their hearts.

For only the heart knows thoughts of words un-taught to the mind.

Mankind is walking blind ignoring the most vivid sign....

Of peace,...of love....,of life....,of growth

We clamor over the pains of war,

but stay silent as innocent blood is soaked.

And those who have spoke are passionately revoked

for their stand against the killing of our babies.

Abortion is killing our minds and soul.

Face it,

The truth is blatant.

When words cry,

they're like sandstorms that rock the center of a nation.

When words cry,

Will you ignore it or will you listen?

Or will you stay indifferent as you witness many killings..
