Souls of old
darkened and cold
lost with no hold
always listened to
what they were told
Did no wrong but did no right
trapped in a forever night
Frightened with fears of what is near
sleek away
hide and pray for day
or cry till your life is taken away
The souls of old
no control
choking on air so foul and bare
never spoken of and rarely spoken to
they were children just like you
