29 fearful souls, buried down,
deep down beneath the concrete
small youthful bones, yet dried by age,
sitting in a circle awaiting salvation
from hollow eyes they quietly stare,
their head bowed in defeat
with outworn cries they sit in silence,
while fear replace frustration

---

30 dreaded souls,
singing hymns fuelled by utter despair
beautiful bashful voices,
a missing saviour they did condemn
his crimes of neglect laid out by song,
spread like rings through air
such sorrow it brought,
that no one would save them

---

31 haunting souls,
fret the longing sight clings a quiet tear
from their midst, the hope did fly,
set free by those debating
piercing eyes met through nothing,
in the end they said a final prayer
as circumstance brings closure,
acceptance comes to those done waiting
