Your Tears They Hold No Meaning Now


Your tears they hold no meaning now
A graveyard filled with agony
No bend is safe, no street is spared
No place to hide your family!

He left his home to be with friends
In broad daylight upon his bike
They shot him down and left him to bleed
The empty eyes were hard to read!

She left her childhood at his door
With dreams to start a brand new life
They burnt her hopes to ashes grey
And left her cries for long to stay!

Her tender arms were barely six
Her face was bruised with brutal kicks
She had been found in bushes green
A mother’s doll a Father’s queen!

Yet everyday there’s more to say
There’s more to tell and more to hear
The empty eyes, the helpless cries
The Justice but within them dies!

There is no end to our ordeal
For when we think the wounds might heal
The aircraft crash echoes the sky
And many die without good-bye!

We go insane with so much pain
We stand in queues to claim our names
For many days we weep and cry
And then Alas! The tears go dry!

Now nothing moves and nothing stirs
The Power Players have set the game
It blinds them all, consumes their needs
Their conscience hardly ever takes heed!

They do not care how many die
They care not why or when they do
For them this is a petty price
A not so shocking sacrifice!

They make us feel like illiterates
Toiling the day to make ends meet
And then to pave their way to light
They put up candidates to fight!

They give us hope and promises
They sell us dreams of golden fields
And while we have them glorified
They loot and cheat us of our rights!

The cursing stare is close to break
Some questions from the tearing heart
My nation holds a sea of Screams
The vicious waves of drowning dreams!

Your tears they hold no meaning now
A graveyard filled with agony
Let just a drop of reason through
For peace to find its way to you!
