WE NEED A SACRED TEAR

by: alexis karpouzos

Dust to dust by the broken dreams of the humanity,
you ain’t got a lot to say, the words are sad,
now, our companion, the pains of the heart.
The indifference kills with no shame or concern,
killing me ,killing you, watch the end of the blessing,
for the blind in the heart war has taken its tax.
He has wrapped us in black wings.
And one day, the sun stopped,
the rain stopped falling,
the flowers didn’t look high,
the sky emptied of stars
then a tear dripped from the heart and became our breath.
We need a sacred tear,
before the fall.
