A Mourner’s Prayer (Medusa)

Rivers of blood and tears

Flowing from a broken people

Endless melancholy! 

In their hearts they carry the sorrow of those that came before

Trying to live a life that is never really theirs

Grieving for our children

Violently stripped away from a mother’s warm embrace

Poisoned by despair

Too much pain to bear

Unhappiness swept through the nation

For a young woman, a little girl

Her youth stolen 

She looks familiar

I see myself in her

I am afraid and I am appalled

How long before my number is called

Rivers of blood and tears

Flowing from a broken people
