The whisper of the dead – v2

The whisper of the dead,
snap of the flags in breezes,
breath across the way, the path,
their cemetery not silent…
 
The cries of the dead
cry out for aid, for justice,
for help for their people,
for this madness to end…
 
The whisper of the dead
breathe life to movement
snap of the flags, praying,
crying out for aid, for justice…
 
May their cries be answered,
more aid be given, fully,
may justice come quickly,
a just peace will rise…
