Poem
Mountain of Shoes By Susan Goodman Such a mountain of shoes Empty of little feet Crumpled and cold and still Silent and still Did the soles of their feet Leave an impression there Different from pair to pair Each soul unique Did they walk hand in hand Trembling, stumbling, wondering why Did their mothers say, hush You’re safe with me, no need to cry If their spirits should fly From heavenly mountain top To see where their footprints stopped What would they find Have we opened our hearts And let the hate fly away Is the world safe today For all human kind Such a mountain of shoes Empty of little feet |
