I Hear The Cry Poem by Eric Cockrell

I Hear The Cry

Rating: 5.0


i hear the cry....
oppression, enslavement,
beatings, torture, rapes,
and killings.
people of heart,
slaughtered like sheep.
monks self-immoliating,
crying out for justice,
and freedom,
for basic human dignity,
for basic human rights...
i hear the cry...
of Tibet on fire.
and am ashamed
to be part of a world
turned blind and deaf!

free Tibet!

It's the way of the world, we hear so much about the bad things going on, but we know there's not much we can do about it. we just have to listen to their cries.
