Haiti's Lost

Broken faces..broken dreams..broken hopes of a world barely seen
whispers of distant laughter...lost upon the wind
Eyes staring wide that will never 'see' again
dirt painted faces some twisted in pain
their breath taken from them...never to breathe again
remember the yelling..remember the cries
remember the joy that once filled their lives
for youth is our innocence...we're only there for a time
ours not taken from us...we look to the past
a smile brought briefly of moments passed
This smile will never be seen on their face
never to move beyond that moment in space
Life ripped away...beyond awful it seems..laid to unrest
broken spirits...lost shadows...shattered dreams
As the tears come forth...of images seen..
eyes squeezed tightly..gasping..why lord?...berating
what does this mean? Your children...why did you give them
just to take them away...their life not lived but barely a day?
I scream at you...fist in the wind...don't you ever my GOD let this happen again!
