Sierra Leon

Raptured by war 
                  Rebels overtake 
                  Clawed and torn apart
                  Death a familiar foe
                  Ashes instead of homes
                  Stranded - some escape
                  Not all make it alive
                  Woman and children
                  Captured for slavery
                  Obey or die!
                  Tortured and raped
                  Half Beaten to Death!
                  Silence or Consequence 
                  Limbs Lost as Punishment!
                  Cries and screans silenced
                  No one hears their silent pleas!
                  Unknown faces no one sees
                  Stories untold and forgotten
                  Precious and troubled souls
                  Endangered by our ignorance.

Beata Agustin Date: 5/13/2024 6:50:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
