Screams

In the sleepless silent dark night,
I hear tormented screams of mankind;
Entangled in a confined unseen cage,
I try to follow the anguish sound.

Night after night a neverending curse,
I try to close my ears but the screams won’t stop;
In impulsion to save them from the suffering,
every time I strive with a new hope.

I want to break the cage,
but feel so powerless when I try;
Is this weakness of my ability,
or am I courageless, but why?

One day it will knock on my doors too,
it will torture me to suffer and scream;
No one will come to my rescue,
My screams will slowly vanish in the gloom
