Vile Shadows

 A bitter croon of tears we sing to 
mortal essence of pettily skeletal 
starving  babies lying in sorrowful 
angst of a mother’s arms divine 
-who shall never see joy 
upon angelic faces confined in 
biased chains of existence 
intended for genocidal agony

What hellish beast has been 
unleashed to devour your soiled 
souls?  
A nameless and shameless foul 
demon has isolated your suffering 
…leaving nothing but flies to cleanse 
the horror of such utter cruelty 

Silent is your intolerable pain of 
shame …as an accepting world 
weighs heavy upon your tiny 
shoulders -where hope is forsaken 
when seems no one cares to reveal 
your stolen nativity 

You shall remain unaware the name 
of the beast called hunger who reigns 
unyielding in a merciless and perpetual 
war between good and evil that 
your fellowman has yet to conquer 
with a mighty weapon of will 

-Eileen P Carry
