A Scream of a Dead Woman





I looked from behind my eyes
To watch my new world . . . world of the dead.
I held my breath.
I looked left and right I saw that . . .
The world of alive people was more rudely
And evil from my world.
I heard only from it screams of hate, pain, fear and war.
I ran away, then I took my breath, I prayed to God
To fill the human heart with sympathy and kindness,
To be able to stand of the world of drugs, blood and war
But my prayer came to be a silent one
Because humanity was still running after evil.
I returned to my world the world of the dead
Screaming and screaming then crying in fear.
Oh God, oh my lord.
Save me from those two worlds.
Give me one kind of silence . . .
Silence of the dead.
