Children
Author Notes(Mako): This is more or so a poem one shot. My teacher wanted us to take a works of Neruda and created our own piece of work based on a style he uses. So no I do not own Pablo Neruda's magic touch, but i did this piece because I think the subject mentioned is very important. So please take note at what my poem is trying to tell you.
Here we find great ignorance
Here we see something no human being should
Small bodies crumbled against the wall
Shaking, Scared, Suffering
People ignore the screams, walk away from the horrors beyond the front lawn
They think it's "fine" That everything is just "peachy"
No more bruises, no more tears No more bleeding, no more fears
They lay on their beds praying for sleep
They desire freedom from the nightmares that haunt their days
Tired, Weak, Alone
Loved ones say they "care," they say they "love" you and want to "protect" you
No more cuts, and no more cries No more hits, and no more lies
Is it "caring" when they slap you everyday
Do you feel "loved" when they yell
Are you protected...Are you safe
Will someone be there for you when you finally breakā¦
Or do they know nothing...
The end
Author Notes:Very short but at least to me very meaningful. It brings up valuable points. And of course it's about child abuse.
Let this remind you, that the world is a dark cruel place. But it doesn't have to be, everyone can make a difference. All it takes, is a kind brave soul to make it happen and hopefully it'll spread, till the light of peoples large hearts consumes the world we live in. Thank you all *Bows*
