Who Will Speak For Them Poem by Charles Bernard

Their hands tied behind their back
Swollen eyes from heavy beating
Their will to live broken with torture
To ease the pain they long to die

Accusations shouted at them
No one cares to hear their plea
In silence they suffer this great pain
Waiting eagerly to escape the misery

Who would speak for them?
Fate has left them no choice
Injustice has taken their voice
In silence they wither away

Now they are free from bondage
Ghosts flying around in agony
Seeking vain vengeance at mid night
While the world sleep away without remorse.
