Voices From The Valley



VOICES FROM THE VALLEY
I hear a thousand voices:
A thousand helpless voices
A thousand homeless voices
A thousand defenseless voices
A thousand hopeless voices;
A thousand voices
Of lamentations
Falling on deaf ears
Of the mountain
Who should better imagine its ugliness
Without the valleys!
