Image result for white sheep among black sheep

Hard knuckles punch young boys-- to drill batchmates with madness where innocence lays bloodied, done-- from a quickening of fear, a groan of oppression: Our children silent as unfinished dreams, in this wasteland of vicious apathy- As hunters' whims injure meek lamb through their rabid sense of entitlement… Is it about a fancy of being anti-heroes or alleviating youth's untold pain? Tell us sheep, hearts of black; for each lesion pierced, your own essence...torn apart. ------------- For Lu Loo's NA the Day Away Contest Submitted 9/4/2019 --------------------------- Re-post: 1 -12 lines ONLY - A Poem That Did NOT Receive A Ribbon Placement 1-3 Contest

this hit hard because my daughter has been being bullied since last year. It's not easy as a kid, let alone a mother. Great way to capture the essence of youthful pain at its best. Loved this poem...Thank you for your participation and congratulations on your placement :)-luloo

Somehow I am reminded of Lord of the Flies -- the jungle bubbling up beneath the thin veneer of civilization. :) gw
