Listener

Motionless stares
Awake but not there

The deaf man listens
No sound, no peace

In silent screams
All their suffering
Tears dripping
His heart is ringing
Seeking escape
Into a quiet place

In the silence
In the killing silence
Gouging their hearts
Deafening their ears
Left alone
To endure
An apathetic world

Massacre
In silence
Everyone hears
The deaf man listens
