For Tibet....

a prayer,
a moment of silence,
and heartfelt tears....

for Tibet.
i am ashamed
that we the world

have done so little to help.
for those tortured and detained
by a most oppressive regime...

for all those left without a home,
orphaned on their pilgrim's journey...
for those who dared to protest

even to self-immolation....
there are those of us who hear,
and weep....

and stand beside you
'neath the stillness of blackened skies,
believing in your freedom!
