What Are Human Tears Worth? Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

What are human tears worth,
in this diabolical world?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
All we received were empty words.
We cannot whitewash it anymore.
We must tell it as it is.
It is disgusting, shameful, evil
and horrendous.
How long more shall it go on?
The devastation is plain to see
based on lies and greed,
from those who have no real need.

They are murderers, robbers,
the lowest of the low.
They will not escape the retribution
for their treacherous acts.
One day they will know.
There will be no forgiveness.
We will not forget.
How they created hell on earth,
and those who let,
it happen.

What are human tears worth?
How can you look at it and
not be affected by this
extreme suffering?
Why inflict it at all?
It comes from a place of no soul
no empathy and no love!
It comes from greed for the land
that they stole!
