Salt Rain

Engulfed in darkness

You struggled and cried

Woven in a tapestry

of violence and lies

Scandal spun on village tongues

bind you to your shame

Weakened will and injured pride

You hide your face

You hide your face

Salt Rain falling, quiet

Your eyes are streams of sorrow

You stood silent

Why are you still silent?
