Beautiful eyes
Are
Often
Shadowed
By
Sadness
That
Makes it impossible
For
The world

To
See
The brightness
Contained
Within
Each
Being’s
Unbreakable
Resilient
Soul

A heavy sadness
Sits
On
My heart
After
Witnessing
The pain
Planted
Centuries ago
That
Continues
To
Be
Harvested
With
Each life
Cut down
Like
A weed
In
A poorly tended garden
