Sounds In The Setting Sun Poem by Rayan Ali

Do you hear the screams
That carry pain inside them?
Do you wonder of the dreams
That went forth in the melting skies?
Do you still ask for more
When others are left with nothing?
Do you hide beneath the trees
While others are left to soak in the rain?
Do you question the ideas
That left other’s answers un-questionable?
Do you find any smiles
That once ruled over these sorrowful faces?
Do you have faith in others
While others don’t have faith in you?
Do you still welcome your wishes
While other’s wishes are turned away?
Do you find it easy to decide of the grief
That made the joy hard to believe?
Do you sleep in the comfort of the mid-night
That forced others to lie on hard ground?
Do you expect to be respected every time
When you made a fool out of yourself?
Do you take the lives of the innocent
That caused others to sob on the ones alive?
Do you feel comfortable
When others have been in pain for so long?
Do you realize the troubles you’ve caused
That made all your people poor?
Do you rise up above the skies
When others fall in the depths?
Do you feel courageous among the leaders
While all they feel is scared?
Do you stop the blood flowing in the streets
That made others give away their lives too?
Do you still have strength when you see
Others break into pieces in the thunder?
Do you ever fight back or take revenge
When someone tries to destroy your home?
Don’t you remember the pain once felt
And all the wars once fought
To build the ground you stand on?
Don’t you remember?
Don’t you see the lines you’ve drawn
On that same ground that was once so clear?
Don’t you still see the courage you’ve sent to sleep
That was once awake to push back
Anything got in it’s way
And that became the reason that these walls stand
Don’t you see anything?
Don’t you feel what others feel?
Do you even live with a heart
Or just the greed to gain all that is there?
Thus it seems to everyone
That indeed, you don’t realize anything.
