Tortured Children

Posted by

demons thank us with Iago’s claws

always

scrawl their thoughts o’er god’s

always

torture their plan, gratuitous

again

give up reciting their reasons

again

close your eyes, defend your mind

before

darkest evil o’er us spread

before

dawn of other stung us with its poison

once upon a time

nudes preferred the evening light

once upon a time

Jesus called the little children to His feet

he died

tired of the light His skin crawled to its end

ahead

a vacancy, His promise for our life

ahead

kings and queens play as divine

today

tortured children die in our cages

today

their blood flushes raw o’er emptiness

forever

where our hearts used to be, now gone

forever
