Heartache Cries Out

Overwhelming
Shadows of war
Destiny speaks
Coming ashore

Future’s darkness
All light erased
Freedom removed
Feeling misplaced

Opposition
All dissent crushed
Outlook grows dim
Speaking now hushed

Heartache cries out
Resistance fades
Hope extinguished
Hiding afraid

Tomorrow’s breath
Empty of pulse
War carries on
Grinding impulse

Writer’s Note: I’ve been watching the History Channel’s documentary on World War II, hosted by Tom Hanks. The images seen inspired the writing of this poem.
