Mama Why Is He Robbing Our Souls ..

Mama Why Is He Robbing Our Souls .., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

our only
valid identity
as human
beings
lies within
our souls
the only
thing we own
our withered
flesh hungry
depleted bones
our silence
in muted tones
our pain on
the silhouette
of our misery
bemoans
our echo less
stomach as
it craves
as it groans
we the living
death prone
now in a
silent zone
during happy
times we
once shone
now you
me both
alone
trying
to get
sympathy
from people
whose hearts
are made
of limestone
their ears
covered
with headphones
they hear music
immune to our
painful moans
for them we
are the untouchables
children of a lesser
lord we the unknown
