Stone Voices – Jim Hughes
These stones will shout aloud,
More than pious sermons
or mute mumbles of apology.
Their voices cry with protest
at partitioned poverty and pain.
They groan with grief at solitude and loss,
and from the chisel strokes of steel on stone
they ring with resonance of hope
and love revealed.
Even as we remain silent,
these stones will shout aloud.
