Sona Wilae Poet Quatrain

The Children's Stain

Social justice sat 
Poised before 
The tribunal of the wise.
No not,
One voice of the socially 
responsible echoed.
The avenue of cultural reforms?
Silent!
The cup of tears 
Drowning the dreams of the weary.
Mothers exiled to hopelessness. 
Dread resonates speechless fury.
Broken and a desperately riddled 
heart of distrust.

Memoirs of a bloodstained culture
