What will they do?

What will they do?

Are the lights out

Or are they all shut

Will they come out

When they hear the shout

Is none awake

Or do they just pretend

Will they wake up

By the smell of the  tea cup

Has the rose bed

Become too comfortable

Will they now know -

Soon the thorns will grow

Are the windows jammed

Or are they closed from inside

Will they finally break the glass

To come out and form a mass

Has the fear trickled down

Too deep inside

That now they shun the truth

And embrace the lie

Is the strength lost

Or is there no courage

Will they continue to hide

And in this immoral world they abide

Are the voices too weak

Or are they all deaf

Will they ever listen

When their loved one's will cry

Is the injustice not seen

Or are they all blind

Will they just turn away

Without even trying to play

Is the soul dead

Or it does not exist

Will they ever fight

For their own right ?
