Walls
These hollow walls, tales unfold
Time trapped in memory
Time ticks on, murders unsolved
Death awaits those who live here
Psychic band of travellers step inside
Woman’s bones they find
Beside her, small bones wrapped in cloth
How long they waited to see the light
The world to know of their plight
Father’s shame, for daughter’s sin
He lay beneath the wooden boards
Blessings now they say are held
Tears to send sweet souls to freedoms day
How many souls lie trapped in hollow walls?
