how will he know?

How will he know?

 

He, an innocent, age three

Wakes up dead to see

A hand and its ten fingers,

How have they done it?

The first hunt and the first hand

To plunge in red of

The vital liquid of life.

How had they done it?

He, an innocent of truth,

Does not know the teeth

Of mankind those eat own clan.

 

He, an innocent, age three

Wakes up dead to see

Cops are taking his father

To jail custody.

How shall I live? A question

Looms upon his head.

But, oh, innocent those hands

Have made you cold dead!

Paddarku-

I love it! Your style seems to have a way of somewhat losing me in the middle and making me work to understand. I really like the way that this one has "standard formatting."

A sobering message, although a good night sleep already sobered me.

I cannot stand cruelty to innocents. This was hard for me to read... it made me very emotional. Too bad this does not end with someone avenging the child. You are very creative. This had a nice, even flow and a melancholy tone.

This piece, though dark in subject matter, flutters along with jubilant flow. I enjoyed reading this, thank you. Mx

There is a straight forward eloquence to your writing that really packs a punch in this write. I'm sitting here having chills thinking of this child and the world you've created around him in this write. Some masterful writing here.

The image of this piece is haunting. I see the little boy, the bloody hand and it stays with me. Haunting.
Good writing.
