Sorry, this is more of that therapy I talked about in my bio. I apologize for the morbidity of it.
Did you hear her strangled cries
as they rang into the night,
or did her stillborn silence
fall upon deaf ears?
Did you think how to help her to
prevent this hienous crime of crimes
as the demon ripped her flesh and
stole her youth?
Would you cry as you watched her
virtue and innocence ground into
the blood-streaked earth below
her bruised body?
Would you watch as his sweaty form
bore down upon a screaming girl
whose youthful eyes had lost
their lustrous palor?
Or would you walk on into the
silent night to roam the streets
safely out of the shadows
And ignore the cries of the dying
child thankful it was her
and not you?
mmmmmm...powerful challenge to the psyche...human nature is fickle.

Danielle, don't apologize. Sadly this is reality. Many call another's pain entertainment. It's something to laugh at and to make fun of. I'm afraid there's lack of empathy and very few good Samaritans. Often people who are under the devils influence lay in wait for good Samaritans, and they beat, rob, rape, and murder them, too. So how can anyone judge another. It's better that we leave the judging to a higher power.
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!
Superb piece - grand imagery here!
