She was born to grow
yet she screams
in silent
tears of pain
blindfolded and raped
again
by so many
she cannot remember
when
with her arms weighted down
by corruption and fear
with the last of her strength
with her skeletal grasp
she still desperately
holds on
to the book
of common law
as the corroded
buckled scales
of peace
slip slowly past
her finger tips
her heart
slowly breaks
hearing
the silent weeping
of all the young
who are dying inside
a place
where we hide
