Bound and paralyzed you sit
Numb with glacial fear,
Silent prayers choke the soul
For your god was never there.

Tortured memories wail
For a life now tainted red,
Ravaged, the broken body weeps
For the desecrating dead.

Darkness shrouds your eyes,
The injustice within burns,
“Respect is a word,” says the priest
“Dead men will never learn”

i like the way your works like these are short and yet whole. no need for further elaboration, it says what it does well and without the incessant rambling such as I dwell into. well done.
