Fingers in the grass
Holding onto the earth
That birthed them.
Stories untold and
Cut down in the tracks.
Told they are not worth
Protecting them.
You snapped their lifeline
Somewhere at the beginning.
Threw the middle and end away.
Vindicated by the world saying
That all of this is fine.
You snapped their families
At the centre where it hurts.
Took their heart right out of them.
For always vindicated by the world
Not taking this seriously.
I watch people
I never knew before
Show me things that
I've never seen.
I watch people
I never knew before
Take their last breath
Right on my screen.
Silence,
Or compliance,
Is the last thing you will get from me.
