Injustice!

Injustice!

Posted by Olivia Kent on June 4, 2013 at 3:11pm

Suffer not thy children,

In a waiter service world of injustice,

Nothingness in a world of tragic poverty,

In a drizzle of tears,

The children drown

Emaciated children,

Not smiling as they die,

In world of war-craft,

Dying,

A little more each day,

Not smiling as they should,

Punished,

Living in a punitive world of cruelty,

Where craft of war is rife,

Screams,

Imagined in heads of strangers,

Insanity,

Piercing with horror,

Ears sickened,

By violent imagery envisaged,

Emaciated child,

*** bellied,

Gaunt,

Virtually lifeless,

Dead before death,

Snatches,

Life blood vanished,

Without request!

There is no youthful exuberance on this face,

Overjoyed,

Delighted,

I don't live in this place!
