National Poetry Month 5/30

4.5.17

we are the wretched 

what world is this
where children are expendable? 
a child who has yet to live 
and life will elude her 
poison will set her lungs ablaze
decades before she speaks revolution

she will never know beauty 
she will never know poetry 

she 
     will
           never  
                    know 

this is not holy
this is not political 
this 
is 
war 

war waged on the wretched
