Can You

Can you hear with me?
the cries, the screams, the pleading?
Listen.

Can you see with me?
The depravity, the pain, the disease?
Look.

Can  you feel with me?
the withered, the broken , the dead?
Touch.

Can you sample with me?
the spoiled, the decayed, the perished?
Taste.

Can you breathe with me?
the putrid, the rotting, the noxious?
Smell.
