why do good people always stay silent

Why do good people always stay silent

I have searched amongst the bones of the dead

I have searched amongst the graves of those killed

I have peeled back the burnt skin of generations

Just to see if you are there

Still laughing, singing

I have been digging through rags of the dead

I have been digging through ashes and bone

I have been crying to find you

Knowing that life does not just disappear

Bombs that track you

Bombs that burn you

Bombs that suffocate you

No assassin will cry

No government will know why

No religion well say stop

Burning with a need

I have searched you out

To no avail

Why do good people always stay silent
