I Hear Silent Screams Poem by Qiniso Mogale

I Hear Silent Screams



I hear silent screams,
I hear the silent screams of an abused little girl,
I hear the silent screams of an abused boy,
I hear the silent screams of an abused woman,
I hear the silent screams of an abused man.

The girl silently screams because she is sexually abused by her father, uncle or close family friend.
She can not tell anyone.
The boy silently screams because he is sexually abused by reverend fathers in church.

I hear silent screams of a woman; she is a
wife to an abusive husband.
I hear silent screams of a man; he is a husband to an abusive wire.
He van not report the abuse because her fears being ridiculed by police and community at large.

I hear silent screams,
The people abused are contemplating suicide
because no one is prepared to help.
Their tears are disregarded.
My mind is in turmoil,
My spirit is troubled,
My heart bleeds profusely,
I pray for divine intervention,
I pray for peace for these troubled souls.
