Vanish

She slowly fades away 
Into the air like dust 
Into the night like a fleeting dream 
Out of history like an exiled queen. 
Falling away from the shore  
With each approaching tide.  
This crisis grows bigger than femicide 
For they’ve begun to attack even the child. 
Some disappear like phantoms 
While police struggle to catch 
The heartless hoodlums. 
Who are these culprits 
in our degenerate society, 
Who steal our females  
In homage to some satanic piety?
