Mutilated, cut, torchered, and burned Laughing, cheering, carrying on Academic intelligence, humanity unlearned Not once is civility ever yearned. Help me, save me, falls on deaf ears Helpless and harmless, but nobody cares Ten thousand eyes view your gasping for breath Yet no eyes hold back any sorrowful tears. Alone we yearn for a soothing voice Knowing it will never speak In our hearts we know the putrid truth This silence, this longing, this anguish ... it reeks.
