Myth, Legend

Within this colossal concrete tomb 
the shadows of the workers loom 
their anquished voices engulf the night 
for few have knowledge of their plight 
some fell to their death 
while the walls were poured 
their screams unheard 
as the mixture roared 
some walked this oasis 
before the white man's hand 
bloodied the soil 
and defiled the land 
they acknowledged the spirits 
and respected the earth 
then fell to the edict 
and their ruler's mirth 
within these walls of needless death 
where souls remain forlorn 
the cries of many will tear your heart 
should you stay to hear them mourn
