The Cages

In the snow they sleep
They lay waiting
The things we forgot
The things lost in the snow.

What do they say?
do you hear them?
Or do you turn your head?
Their Voices go not answer

In the snow you see them
Ghost of the past
They look with their pleading eyes
Their hands search for some one to save them

Life is taken
Frozen in the time of man
They are what was locked up
Hidden like trapped dogs

Many saw them in time
Many forget their pain
others clear the vowed
Listen to them yell

The voices grow
The innocents of pain gone by
They speak of anger
They speak of hate

The ones who suffered for crimes
The ones worn by death
Hear their words
Listen to them!

The land never shows green
only snow white
no angel smiles on this sight
only demons clutter to see it

welcome to this cage
were freedom is only a whisper
hear them cry out
their cages their cages

hmmm I get the main idea behind the poem and I can see it in my head, the only thing I had trouble with was that it was a little scattered with setting and and then using your senses in the setting, like you built a little then sensed a little then built more etc etc. Overall I like it ^^ you're a talented poet. Ummm in the last stanza it's "where" x]
Here's what i see: A snow covered plain, silvery mist in the shape of bars along the ground with ghostly hands and eyes r
