Innocents In Hell Poem by Debora Short
Innocents In Hell
So much pain
So little hope
15 million homeless
And, all completely right-less
Images of three year old babies
Arms machete-ied off
And tiny infant’s fingers
Their only solace …
Now, only a mother’s memory
And, what of their mothers
Raped and tortured
Sentenced to no life
HIV condemns
All as perennial outcasts
Wandering hungry souls
Just who will care for them?
Some rescued young sex slaves
Receive 45 days of rehab…
And, then what...their
Sentence now cast
A lifetime of sleepless torture
One young girl ordered to place friends
Heads in a fire-pit and, view
Their eyes popping and their brains oozing…
So much pain
So little hope
15 million homeless
And, all completely right-less
Why didn't I see this before? It's heart-rendering. It's well-written (very much so) . It's touching and traumatic and HELL. Well done for this.
HIV is killing human race. I too wrote a poem about the same theme, it's called AIDS. I liked the way this poem progressed. Nice work here. Preets
