The Silent Land

Silent, empty land
Barren and Lifeless
Remembering a Generation
That eked a meagre living from its soil
Remembering the threat of eviction
The plodding feat of those intent on destruction

Where for three days the battering ram
Levelled the granite stones
The land, that heard the cries and groans
Of old and young.
