The Poor Man

Saturday Night
in the township of Zithobeni
the poor man
screaming again
beging for his life.

The poor man love 
larking,but this time 
he was attacked by hyenas
filled with anger and ego
to split blood 
like vampires.

The poor man was assaulted verbally.

Through the window
I saw the whole
incident,the poor man
is lying in the 
pool of blood
and,his flesh is
torn apart like
ripped jeans.

Thaboo, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
