Cream WhiteA Poem by Armistead LindseyA response to some horrible stuff I recently read in the news.
Cream white skin,
They possessed, Innocence, purity, trust, Why must children possess Everything you desire? They are perfection, perfection, Yet you seek to destroy them. When they sleep, Only dreams should grace them, Not fear, not torment, Just dreams, Of new bikes, toys, happiness. They are perfect, Not worth giving any pain, Perfect, beautiful, They don't deserve it. Yet you hurt them, destroy their innocence, Burn their purity, Torture the child, Kill their absolution. They are beautiful, Gorgeous, children, Even after you're pain. And no-one could stop it. You hurt them. You destroy their person-hood, Their lives And no-one can give that back.
