They Walk

They walk
They walk
In columns
In rows


They walk
They walk
Their feet
Their toes


They walk
They walk
The earth
It shakes


They walk
They walk
Deep breaths
They take


They walk
They walk
Out there
A goal


They walk
They walk
No rest
Takes tolls


They walk
They walk
The old
Drop dead


They walk
They walk
For them
No beds


They walk
They walk
The earth
Goes up


They walk
They walk
The wolves
Hide pups


They walk
They walk
The trees
They bend


They walk
They walk
The wounds
They mend


They walk
They walk
The branches
They break


They walk
They walk
New canes
They make


They walk
They walk
Much time
Is spent


They walk
They walk
No help
Is sent


They walk
They walk
More lost
They are


They walk
They walk
Now skies
Have stars


They walk
They walk
The weeks
Have passed


They walk
They walk
This food
Their last


They walk
They walk
No water
To drink


They walk
They walk
Their hearts
Do sink


They walk
They walk
All hope
Is lost


They walk
They walk
New morn
More frost


They fall
They freeze
Their souls
They leave


Yet life
Goes on
From dusk
To dawn


They hiked
