Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

Mass Destruction

small deadly weapon lies in 

wait

exiled now behind closed

mouth

precariously perilous it lies

inert

as lip zipped keeper obeys

fate



white sheets surround her secret

shame

the questions left unanswered

hang

what drove her to this breaking

point

to mass destruct in silent

blame
