Silent Screams

We walk through a world that hides its sins, A cage of silence, where it begins. Lives exploited, torn at the seams, Their pain flows deep in silent screams. Factories hum with the sound of despair, A billion souls trapped, gasping for air. Labels shine bright on the shelves we see, But their cost is paid in agony. Fields stained red where innocence bled, Eyes that plead, but they're left unfed. Chains on paws, chains on hands, This is the legacy of human lands. Concrete jungles, smoke in the sky, Progress built on a million lies. Every step forward leaves scars behind, While justice waits, deaf and blind. Children toil for the wealth of kings, A future crushed beneath their wings. The rivers run with tears unseen, Carrying echoes of what could've been. Silent screams, buried under pride, Truths we ignore, truths we hide. Every shadow tells a tale, Of lives betrayed where systems fail. In labs they scream, but the walls don't speak, Sacrificed for cures we seek. What price we pay, what line we cross, In the name of science, at what cost? Forests fall to the hungry machine, A world devoured, unseen, obscene. While oceans choke on plastic streams, Dreams of freedom drown in their dreams. Markets roar with the sound of trade, For every dollar, a life is paid. Skinned for fashion, their bodies sold, Compassion dies where profit takes hold. Animals bred for a fleeting taste, Their lives reduced to endless waste. Eyes that once knew the open field, Now stare at walls where hope won't yield. Silent screams, buried under pride, Truths we ignore, truths we hide. Every shadow tells a tale, Of lives betrayed where systems fail. History writes in blood and fire, Empires built on cruel desire. The strong survive, but at what cost? A world enriched by the lives we've lost. Mountains crumble, the earth it weeps, The cost of silence runs so deep. Is this the story we leave behind, A legacy cold, unkind? In quiet shelters, they wait alone, Hearts abandoned, without a home. Love unspoken, bonds denied, Their silent tears are where hope has died. No words to tell their endless pain, But their eyes speak louder than the rain. What do we gain by turning away, From the lives that plead for another day? The earth keeps turning, the clock won't stop, But every soul has a place at the top. In their silent screams lies a plea, A reflection of what we choose to be.
