(The Future) Documenting Human Suffering

fear of the fire
adults lost feelings long ago
hands in front of their faces
while the children kept going
horrible homes ablaze
future up in smoke
served as a reminder
a look full of glaze
sadness seen in the your eyes, again
the spirit awoke
traces of past traumas reignited
you are a fighter
people hear your cries
politics, selfish games get in the way
countless tries
only to relive the horror
shouldn’t be amazed
but it took your diary, your words,
your tears
forced to forego dreams
a situation fueled my anger
you showing how dire
