No Answer

In a land
where death freely walks
and justice hides in shame
there lived a child,
a child with the face of an angel.
And the child lived amongst cruelest horror
amongst murder,
pain and suffering
But, like hope, he lived unscathed
by fiends and devils,
till one day when all honor and glory was lost
he was sentenced to cruelest death:
To become a corpse among corpses,
standing there silent,
against murders and monsters,
asking the unanswerable question,
Why?
With him died hope,
With him died sanity,
With him all liberty and freedom
were struck down.
And now that the silence is broken
and justice has reappeared,
like the angel on that fateful day,
the question still hangs.
