BETWEEN THESE LINES
_______________________________________
Between these lines
A poem starved of meaning lies
Begging for redemption
From injustice, hatred, and corruption.
This poem is a mother
One who stayed long after he left, the father.
A young woman tracing love with blind hands
A girl in a world where her rights are mistaken for demands.
This poem is meaningless
As spineless as a snail
It makes no call for praise or mention
It simply pleads for redemption
Right here, between these lines.
