“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”<br /> ― Maya Angelou


Ghettos pour to melting pots

Lives shackled to the regime

Deaths pile ‘til all forgot

Grave dirt-stained bloodstream

 

Those with breath find worser fates

Bodies shrivel and decay

Screams evade “Open hell gates!”

The devil’s seized his day

 

But mounts a flag: red, white, blue

Hope spirals with life’s spring

Men and women, withered but new,

Rise above and sing

 

“Let our lives remain

Let freedom take its reign”
