Through the barbed wire
I see the glow of your heart.
Surrounded by darkness
Encumbered by hatred
Yet the hope remains.

Through the barbed wire
I feel your fear.
Tears unshed
Terrorized thoughts
But you keep the hope with you.

Through the barbed wire
I hear your whimpers.
Cries of innocence
Memories fading
Still I know, hope will not die.
