Unearthed Treasure

Deep Within

Yelling out in a vast
   wilderness - no response.
Constantly fighting off
   the pain,
   yet it grows larger
The plain truth shines out,
   yet we mask ourselves
   deep within.
How much more must we
   endure, before
   it tears us apart?
Shredding the inner fabric
   but all that we show
   is non-emotion.
Life is a series of complications,
   out of one, into another.

The 'project'

They have come amongst us -
   (in search of more land...)
Now they say they're sorry,
   but that does not give us
   back what we've lost.
Our elders have taught us
   to stay away
Talk of the 'project'
   has been passed around,
"No more of you will have to die,"    the man says,
   but he doesn't see
   the harm.
It's best not to interfere
   but it seems like
   it's too late.
