Sound
Crashes and booms bounce off the walls and hit my ear
The cries of the women, the children, the men. Fear.
If only someone else could hear. Why can't anyone hear?
People falling to the ground. Dead. That’s what my eyes see.
Running everywhere. The ultimate goal, to flee.
Why can't anyone else see? How can that possibly be?
The heat from the flames is all I feel.
Is this a dream? It feels unreal.
Will we ever heal?
Dead bodies sprawled across the ground
Limbs are body parts all around
Surely this must be making a sound.

All I feel
All I feel is shame
I have caused so much pain, all these people burned in flames
Knowing that this big mess is mine to claim
All I feel is shame
All I feel is hurt
When I see the people get kicked down in the dirt
Their bright red blood stains their shirt
All I feel is hurt
All I feel is sorrow
Because of me these people will see no morrow
When will this end a week, tomorrow?
All I feel is sorrow
All I ask is why?
Why must all these children cry?
Why must all these people die?
Why?
