Shacklesmacked
SHACKLESMACKED
facedrizzled
skinsizzled
painshrieking
manacled
bloodbeating
whimpering whaif
cowering safe
no wait…
here it comes
again…
and again
and
again
the coward
stands
a machine
beating
meanthinking
man with dead
eyes
vermonworming
his disguise
lips thin as
pins in dark
blue skies
abhorrent
sickening
torment
of an
innocent
child
(the heinous crime of child abuse)
