Their wet cheeks preach
Of the pain they keep inside
Their silence reveals
Miseries buried in their chest
Their stare tells
There story if there misfortune

They cry do you hear?
They scream do you help?
They say NO! do you stop?
They need help and you turn away
When they need light you turn it off
They are dying do you care?

But when your eyes are shut
And your ears closed
You’ll see and hear
With your heart
And understand
You’ll understand
