~even ~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

From distance far
their cries fade familiar,
Waking memories unfulfilled.

These lands,
those souls,
Overtaken easily
By something swift,
dishonest,
callous to care,
But effective in getting
what it wants,
And pushing out
what it doesn't.

Signals cut the skies,
hawks part ways
meeting far from here.
I feel pain,
bleeding in each beat,
I see shadows crawl
on wounded knees...

From distance far
all cries sound familiar,
Bringing memories unfulfilled.

We've all been
broken...Yet,
that may never make us
even.
