I Hear....

i hear the cry of a thousand naked voices. i hear the sound of the turning wheels. i hear the guns, and the moment after, i hear the blood of bodies in the fields. i hear the cry of babies without mothers, i hear the hunger of faces without names. i hear the whisper of god in the homeless, the hearts of the poor in the falling rain. i hear the truth beyond all lies, i hear the hand that takes another. i hear justice's cry for deliverance, and the prayer of the stranger that is my brother. i hear the hammer and wings of freedom, i hear equality chanted and sang. i hear the beat of life calling forward, to dare, to give, tis not in vain!
