Haunts my mind and soul.
I, not prepared for that moment,
Looked into those four-year-old eyes,
And wonder how it could happen to her.
She was too young, too innocent,
Too fragile to face such horror.
I shift my gaze to her parents,
Who, perhaps most saddingly,
Will someday have to explain what happened.
Then my mind, in a twist unexpected,
Shifts to the monster who did this.
True, the perpertraitor was a vile boy,
Of only thirteen years,
But there is nothing I want more in my rage,
Than to see him pay with his life.
For, through all my training and skills,
I cannot save this young girl's innocence. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 32 [informant] => chicken [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Her Unknowing Face

The girl's unknowing face,
Haunts my mind and soul.
I, not prepared for that moment,
Looked into those four-year-old eyes,
And wonder how it could happen to her.
She was too young, too innocent,
Too fragile to face such horror.
I shift my gaze to her parents,
Who, perhaps most saddingly,
Will someday have to explain what happened.
Then my mind, in a twist unexpected,
Shifts to the monster who did this.
True, the perpertraitor was a vile boy,
Of only thirteen years,
But there is nothing I want more in my rage,
Than to see him pay with his life.
For, through all my training and skills,
I cannot save this young girl's innocence.

How awful and sad, just shows you how inhumane some people are. everyday hundreds of women all over the world are being raped and there's no one who can help them. Great poem.

Hugs,
Jane
