The Silent Parade

A tear drop shatters
in a thousand rings
And no where does
an angel dare sing
The sky above
is dark and gray
And there are no children
to celebrate or play
The vacant streets are silent
when the sky's light dims
And everyone's scenses
are far past their whims
And when they hear the noise
of marching drums and marching feet
All human hearts pound
to the drums thounderous beat
That is when you know
your time has come
When they stop at your door
and all sounds are done
