They scream…They scream
The victims
innocent
guilty of
being in the way
over there
scream
from torn
shredded
bodies and souls
ethereal emancipation
graced by the exceptional
Splattered for miles
across
decades
centuries
yesterday
today and tomorrow
victims of
a pandemic
an insidious
neo-liberal plague
Can’t you hear them
the dead scream for you
they scream for veracity
they scream for justice
demanding by right
for their stories
to be told
to be remembered
not forgotten
millions upon millions
Within my skull
300 decibels
Cascading thunder
quaking lightening
echoing voices
demanding
begging
to right these wrongs
They scream
they scream
with unconsummated passion
enraged by resolute conviction
white roses
monsoon
a deluge
descending down
saturating everyone
Screaming for acknowledgment
justice
screaming for truth
screaming for remembrance
screaming for recollection
Above it all
they scream
they scream
Not again
not again
not again
