Dark Painting Poem by Snow Maiden

Dark Painting



Life is painted black and red
smiling strangers eyes are dead.

Broken bottles empty hands
skinny hopes left in strands

Tears burn scars on her heart
curses tears a soul apart.

Innocence is stolen in a nod
prayers stop going out to God.

Unloved children scream and cry
A 4 year old searches ways to die

Sirens choke the soggy night
parents scream, drink, hit and fight.

Life suffocates you and brings you to your knees…

Drag this painting back to hell please.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The reason I wrote this is because of a story I heard:

A 4 year old girl was sitting alone in the back of an taxi driving around town. The police officer saw the child was alone and stopped the taxi.

The police asked the girl ' Why are you in the back of this taxi? '

The girl replied: 'Taxi's makes the most accidents on the road'

It made me very sad and I wanted to write a poem that might be the reason for such sadness in a 4 year old.

I wanted to do this justice.
Please comment and tell me if I succeeded.
