Echoes of laughter rising and crashing in dim light The cries thrust toward unforgiving walls An unending descending staircase, cloaked in solemn decay Oppressive and absolute darkness Stains each wall as it rises beyond the scope of the eye Such a gradual descent it has been Which has brought me now into this abyss Where regret seeps up slowly from ravaged soil And the men lie in wait for a harvest of redemption that shall not come While the women gaze skyward in defiance of their sentence Yet somehow here amidst the chaos Flashes of sight I can hear the ghost song and rhythm of the convoy The rough grinding of an elderly mans hands clenched in prayer after 50 years of sweat and toil Praying now that his reward may come The stare and soft hum of a soldier taken in combat days before the birth of his son Praying now that his reward may come The running of fingers across the face of a murderer The enactment of his rage flashing randomly, painfully in his mind He too is praying For he is here as well The confluence of emotions which flows from this ever gathering convoy Has brought me to my knees It is only in this bloodletting that I gain strength Behind me Far in the distance
