MY CHILD

 

My child is wrapped in a white sheet

Lifeless

My eyes are streaming with tears

Endless

My heart is devastated with grief

Immeasurable

My lips kiss her forehead again

Demoralized

My arms hold her tight to my chest

Bewildered

My body is devoid of strength

lethargic 

My cries shout out in anger

Dumbfounded

My mind is perplexed

Incomprehensible 

CONSUMED

 

I am tired and exhausted

Overwhelmed

demoralized and

Fatigued

I’m on my phone constantly

Reading

Copying and

Pasting

Another truth I post

Writing

Talking and

Educating

My friends everywhere

Atrocities

Grief and

Humanity

I cry out to the world

Babies

Helpless

Endless
