What It Means To Be Living Dead
(From an interview with a young woman who escaped from ISIS)
She is dead and wonders why
Her heart goes on beating.
But, she has been dead before.
She died each time she thought
About the eight year old girl *****
Then taken, a wife for ISIS.
"Take me!" she had pleaded.
Her body would be stronger.
Her mind already knew . . .
So, now, at only twenty,
She dies, again and again.
Yet, her heart and memory will not.
"For every thousand hacking at the leaves of evil there is one hacking at the roots."Β Β Henery David Thoreau
