I stand in the crowd
one preacher screams jesus
A women gives up her child
broken glass in the park
A singer sings of nirvana

I stand in the crowd
one monk prays for a savior
A boy pulls the trigger to be a man
an old womam no longer rembers me
A boy cuts his arm to feel his soul

I stand in the crowd
A men crys allah to the blood red sky
A yound women crys over a grave
A soldier no longer stands tall
A mens cracked mask falls and smiles

I stand in the crowd
A baby held over fire
screams in the night ignored for normalicy
A room all white takes over memory
happiness a stale yellow pill

I stand in the crowd
watching like god
a soul pierced with woe
sorrow the drug of angels

I stand in the crowd
As you blame me for your lost
A women over her sons body screams up to my throne
hope
kindness
I no longer understand

war
hate
rape
drugs
depression
death

I understand

I watched

I know

because I stand in the crowd
