Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

The Zareba

Taken from a meager hovel
Held in the zareba
The young girl dreams of her rescue
An escape eureka

The monolith brings young girls here
Holding them for bounty
Their evil motives not transparent
Deeds illegal in county

Inward my heart caves in with pain
An admirable dream held
Children could live in happiness
Freedom unparalleled

All sex trade gone children adored
Each family could live fed
Hunger unheard of over the world
And each a comfortable bed  

Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton
Contest: Dreams
I have a dream that all in the world 
can live in joy without fear, with 
food and clothing that meets their needs..
No poverty so bad that parents sell 
their children into a situation that 
is degrading..

John Loving Iii February 27, 2014 at 8:18 AM It not a shame it's an abomination. But if they give their favorite child to better parents there's a blessing in there somewhere.

Funom Makama February 23, 2014 at 5:13 AM Your words of new grain stock prepared and processed like well spiced pork with each line presenting a readily available fork to consume a wonderful meal is a simple description of your work full of creativity and intelligence.

Russell Sivey February 22, 2014 at 9:27 PM This is a very admirable dream Sara, I just wish that it could come true, though unfortunately I doubt it will! I really enjoyed reading this tremendous poem this evening! What a glorious piece you have written here my friend! Great Work!!

Kelly Deschler February 22, 2014 at 5:34 PM I cannot imagine how parents could put their children into such dangerous situations. But, unfortunately some are forced to do so, and no human being should have to live that kind of a life. This poem is very powerful and quite moving. Let's hope that this dream becomes a reality. Great write, Sara, and good luck in the contest! :)
