Captured Innocence

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Horror speaks in silence

    And Fear speaks in signs

              It’s written on my face

                        and on the faces I see

 

How did I end up here?

A masked man brought us food

The smell of it drives us mad in hunger

We eat like we're crazy

Devouring it like messy animals

 

I see the eyes of superiority

            In the sight of the masked man

I look at them with deep curiosity

He looks back with a look of intent

Deep blue eyes inspect the whole me

Then I realized, everyone, including me

            Wears nothing but just two pieces of undergarments               

I quickly cover my well-being

Then he just walks away

 

I felt dirty ,

            Weary,

And cold in this rusty dark place

Where are we going?

Our future is uncertain

I felt that our life is for sale

Like animals going to be slaughtered

 

Sleep is taking my reality

Hoping that dreams will wash away

            the fear, horror and uncertainty along the way.

Justice is blind when money talks
people who treats women as a pleasure tool is just cruel
this poem tackles about white slavery

I still haven't write anything good lately

Reviews

[An owl on the moon]

How you awaken within us the painful truth that there are thousands.. perhaps millions, who are in such horrid conditions even as we dream at night. Your poetry brings about the pain and anguish.. the helplessness... the hopelessness... May we rescue those so bound.

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

You have dealt with a horrifying reality and done it well. The subject is so disturbing on so many levels. As a mother, as a woman, as a human being...I am old enough to understand the depths of depravity that human beings can stoop to, but it still sickens my soul, and chills my heart. This is well worth reading and should be.

thank You, such great review. Yup, its the horrifying reality and to think it still exist hidden in the eyes of the world.

[Kiari Sabon]

i really like this keep up the work

[Barbara Walker]

This poem addresses a real trgedy in this world. Many people are kept against their will and trying to escape is frightening. If they aren't killed and run away, who is there to help them?

[Pax]

that's a question that is really hard to answer. what frightening about this is that its true and it still exist, then were still blind about that fact. thanks for the great review.

[Laura Maidah]

The picture and the poem are different thematically and in tone. I found the poem exceeded the picture in taste.

[T. Logan]

This is really good, and kind of scary. It could be continued as a short story or even a book if you wanted to.

[GunMetal]

This was dark and frightening. It's terrible that this happens. Just f*****g awful. You really tapped into something powerful here.

[Kuhr Gred]

Powerful writing, my friend. Very effective expression in this well executed write. Kudos!!

[Layla J Omorose]

I liked this and the free verse of it gives it a story like quality. I didn't really mind the picture though the poem itself took care of the imagery but the poem to me was a nice touch. This was a very good poem

[Renée]

WillyamPax..I agree with MoriartyMesa when he says Your images were not needed..the words spoke on their own...A powerful piece your wrote..and I thank you for reminding us what goes on & giving a voice to those who can not speak for themselves..
