Under the Weight of a Leaden Sky

.

Greys, graze,

Colours erase,

Faceless figures, nameless numbers,

Making sense of the senseless.

.

Humanity wounded,

Cut to the core, edges raw,

Someone’s baby,

Somebody’s child.

.

Chain linked, slashed wide,

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,

Weeping tears,

Stilling fears.

.

Gap-toothed abscess marred;

History’s face is scarred.
