We Care in Silence - Ghenname Zohra

People are deaf
they cover their ears for not to hear
the taken life


struggling to survive
People are blind
They only see one side
People are empty
They don’t have the heart to pity
What others suffer
What their smiles cover
Of wounds that will not easily heal
Of scars that will never disappear
may be we do care about what happens in the world
but still, we never say a word
we care in silence
our silence murders all innocence 

Ghenname Zohra (20th century) Algeria
