Kony 2012

A parent screaming into the wind

Tears rolling down her pretty face

Crying into the night:

“Where’s my daughter been?”

The truth more freighting then anything she could have thought

Her daughter’s life gone to a higher man

This man is cruel; this man is men

He does nothing but make the children scream

Most of those kids would be better off dead

No one knows

No cares

Almost 3 decades, nothing but stares

But yet we hear about the glitz and glamour

About the hook ups and the break ups

While this man ran free

Haunting every African parents dream.

Reviews

Such a heartfelt poem. I agree; he is a sicIk man and does deserve to be jailed. People shouldn't get away with any type of crime. In my beliefs, the worst crime is tearing a family apart. I think it's just plain awful that some people get away with ruining people's lives.
Nice write. I loved it's truth.
