what are we?

dusk arising

It broke my heart today

to see another angelic little face

killed

by a parental figure

 

what are we?

    No tragedy worse my friend than the murder of innocents - like yourself I am wordless indeed at this recent evil - - where is the help when it is needed from welfare services. ?

    This is insidious
    So damn vicious
    Sorry for the wrong words of rage used
    But it really boils the blood to the core
    You sharply pointed the fire humanity in our society
    It’s really a pity for the innocent to suffer this

    Bad enough when its a stranger but when its a guardian meant to protect them then it becomes incomprehensible. Very powerful piece in so few words. ✌

  • Coyote

    A very good question you ask in this tragic piece my friend.

    Just today the local newspaper reported a 5 year old boy was killed by his mother and stepfather. It seems to be more frequent recently. Is this evil a worldwide phenomenon?

    It broke mine as well, I just do not understand why children are hurt and killed by there family members - or anybody else for that matter. Children are so precious in our world.
