Shouting into Darkness

empty soul
cryin
no time for tears now
have a war to wage
a country to defend

slam me for loving to live
crucify me for daring to forgive
call me the enemy
for i want to understand

ye who slaughtered millions
with your jeans, goldrushes and greed
throw the stones at me
one who tries through tiny ripples
to change
a foul reality

bow and arrow me
you the many
me the few

whats fair
when you’re shouting into darkness

in power volume
wisdom scarcely heard
feedback squeaks
no way of convincing
no way of reaching

keep stirrin
small wonders
in a large pot
of hate

……..note, i am israeli in a world that blames me for trying to survive, but i could be afghani, native american, kurd, or many others. i speak because i must.
