Hearts beating She knows the meaning.. Sick Fear Excitement.. Kids screaming Staff running.. Tackle child Like football Watch ..........Her .................Fall Hands over mouth.. Stifle her screams.. Not allowed to feel In this institution.. She is an insignificant girl.. Just an intrusion.. Must control her body Mind ...And soul.. Don’t feel Don’t think.. DON’T Say a word.. You are here To be ...Warehoused.. NOT heard. CIU is where she goes.. Stripped of her cloths.. Naked body Naked heart Naked soul Thrown down.. Rug burns on her face.. She doesn’t care.. She is use to this place.. Her crimson blood.. smeared on dirty floors... She is not part of this world anymore. She is a disposable girl Behind locked doors. She falls ...slowly Into her ...mind.. She whispers I loved you.. For the very last time.. No one is there to hear what was said.. No one is to witness Her hearts final ...death.
~OUCH~ and ~WHEW~

I am stunned.
I could hardly breathe whist reading this.
It packs a mighty blow to the emotions.
I felt so for the girl-child in this poem,I am very upset by it mainly because I know this sort of thing happens all over the world each day,I absolutely hate that this sort of thing happens.Truth is often ugly and you exposed it so in this poem but you did it with a masters touch,genius touch...your poem is exceptional,it has really moved me.I'll have to go outside now and look at the flowers for a while though.
Best wishes always.
p.s.
I wish it didn't have to end that way but it was a powerful ending for a poem.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
