I hear the lonesome sound of a beginning, While walking through the shadowed street, No light in sight, my eyes withheld as blind. Approaching footsteps, rushed and nervous words, A sudden gleam surprises my whole being, A state-of-living like a ransacked dog, While dying screams possess my inner fear. A day untold, a sullen cry unheard, Of justice preached the yellow-tinted man, Who did embrace the ways of days bygone, When water rushed through rivers far and wide, And forests lush and green caressed the land.
