The Missing
The girls were removed without warning
No beeps, alarms or foreboding
Trucks, darkness, the sweltering night air and a full moon
Played host to our present chaos
Helpless and incoherently confused the bound silently accepted their fate
Their eyes gleaming with sorrow and fright, they filed into the imposing carriage
The soldiers of doom offered little consolation as they mercilessly seized their cargo
The world was designated to wake up to the incredulous itinerary established by the cowardly doctrines
Aghast and dismayed, a stunned audience beheld the stormy weather dropping residue of incoherence and mayhem
The girls are sailing with the clouds of chance and danger hoping the wind will dust off their enchanted nightmare
The officers of reckoning detail their tallies without impressive assertion
A sign of the colossal past and regretful present
The truck is speeding like a torched bullet eager to find a patch for mercy
The floor is cold and there is nothing above to hide the potent stars guiding destiny
Bodies piled in haste and desperation shaking with unpolluted fear
There is no instrumental commandment setting the pace
We are crying and stomping for answers that may never come
They are lost but the Republic is found
The generated jury has spoken with relentless unison
The verdict lies in the guilty burrows of a historical dynasty
Tainted by the blood of the courageous few who dared to dream
Those girls, their tattered sheets, empty beds and hollowed absence
Will forever pierce the revival of our existence.
