The Sounds of Inhumanity

The sound of

Water taps running dry

In homes around the world

Of empty jerry cans

Dancing in the wind.

The sound of

Drivers ploughing down pedestrians

As if it is a sport

Of wails of the survivors

Wrenching our hearts.

The sound of
Refugees drifting in high seas
For a crime not done
Of newborns sucking on dead moms
Where is humanity gone?

The sound of

A migrant child

Snatched like a chicken

Separated from his mother

Running our eyes dry.


The sound of

Duplicity

Of damn-care attitude 

The loudness in intolerance 
Has humanity turned deaf?
