Has Anybody Seen....?

The photographs eyes see,
a hopeless hope kept whole,
in papered anguished plea,
no sound bleeds out our soul.

Walls of silent cries
in reams of black and white
as mutely each denies
tomorrows' empty night

Through focused camera lens,
a thousand pictures burned
in minds of untold men,
the souls that won't return.
