Can you see us?

The suffering,  the imploring  faces lost
What Saviour could ignore their savage pain
Some are saved  but what has been the cost?

Sitting in our stylish,cosy house
We see them on the News and then again
The suffering,  the imploring  faces lost

Into a new Hell they’re  daily tossed
Are we bystanders watching full of shame?
They are sacrificed, what has it cost?

The Germans  thought Herr Hitler a good boss
As  for murdering Jews, were they to blame?
The suffering,  the imploring  faces  massed

Are we like them by our defence gross
Kept from conscious knowledge and so lamed?
They are sacrificed and we are lost?

Affectless and schizoid in the brain
We  came to be the devils in the flames
The suffering, the  imploring  faces ask
Can you see us,? You’ve destroyed our trust
