Your Fire for strangers

.

30 years now
between you and me
tears evaporated
empty arms
filled with
daily problems
not caused by you

scratching grief
hidden
at the bottom of my heart

the everlasting flame
igniting the fire
of protest
agains the death
of innocent children

My loneliness
fed
by people
who won’t care
for unknown children

Strangers
to their own hearts

.
