L Milton Hankins Poet Rictameter

A Curse

Hereby,
A curse upon
those who willfully hurt
or bring suffering to babies,
or who knowingly steal the innocence
reserved for the little children,
by the authority 
of God above,
Hereby.

I Am Anaya February 17, 2022 at 2:04 PM We should all be activists for this cause. This, Milton, should be our highest priority--the protection and well-being of our children. Thank you. Congratulations! Anaya

Meghan Hutchings February 17, 2022 at 12:02 PM Congratulations! I couldn't agree with you more! The suffering of the innocent, especially babies, animals, and children is despicable! Excellent job in bringing it to light through poetry! Much love...Meghan

Tom Cunningham February 1, 2022 at 8:47 AM The fires of hell await those who abuse innocent children and babies. We had a couple of cases recently where the children were horrifically abused and died, and it was the parents who were the abusers.
