Mothers Prayer Against The Bullies Poem by Lucy Burrow
Mothers Prayer Against The Bullies
She leaves
For another day of
Sharpened claws,
Twisted by opinion,
Bent by pressure
Of all-knowing peers.
Iron fist
Armoured in steel,
Galvanised into action
By thoughtless words
Breathed in an instant
From careless mouths
Dripping with self.
Shattered dreams
shredded
By knives of jealousy
Sharpened on
Stones of hearsay,
Hewn from old stories.
Truth!
Shining
like polished steel
Dancing in the sunlight
Oh, bring her home!
Goblet of peace...
Filled
with the waters of knowledge
Bring her safely home.
