Feathers dipped in red To paint clouds, Voices tied Like fences with barbed wire Eyes tainted black To shun morning light Camouflage night Hands on throats, broken wings Hollow bones under beaten skin Angry tears, and hushed beats Trembling hearts lie dead on streets Cracked, and bruised Words and beliefs Another day Our defeat.

When Birds Fly
Feathers dipped in red To paint clouds, Voices tied Like fences with barbed wire Eyes tainted black To shun morning light Camouflage night Hands on throats, broken wings Hollow bones under beaten skin Angry tears, and hushed beats Trembling hearts lie dead on streets Cracked, and bruised Words and beliefs Another day Our defeat.
