Destiny: A Poem for Girl X
rodney c///97
Destiny was her name, and charity was her cloak.
Shame was how she died, and pain was on her face.
Raped, abused and then discarded - her presence forgotten.
Darkness shrouds this place of death, we shall remember.
Bright was her future, joy filled her eyes.
Playing on the steps that day
Stolen from our hearts by apathy.
Body invaded, life eclipsed another angel cries.
Childhood innocence shattered,
beauty forsaken by insanity.
her groan, listen to her complaint.
Destroyers stalks from dawn to dusk.
Blood stains a dingy floor.
Abandoned, Destiny searches for reason.
Cloudless skies and bloody rain.
Silent screams and insane violence.
Amazing grace, she sings within the rainbow.
Innocence hides within the stars
never to cry again.
Destiny's laughter fills the void.
And we shout ---Never Again
