A loving couple
Married twenty-nine years
Childless
Deaf God, unanswered prayers.
They died last year
No one to shed a single drop of tear.
A young girl
Eighteen years of age
Left alone
Unwanted pregnancy
Last week, she decided
Unborn child in a jar with liquid.
Scenario 2:
A bald little girl
Fighting cancer for three years
Pain is an understatement
Deaf God in her endless screams.
She departed yesterday
She’s gone along with her family’s wealth.
A stupid little boy
Dreamed to become a lawyer
His mother insists a Mathematician
His father wants an Engineer.
This morning, Algebra exam failed
With his father’s gun, pointblank to his head.
Scenario 3:
A lovely woman
Beaten and raped by a gang.
Her beauty is not just an adjective
Their death is not enough punishment.
An hour ago, a message arrived
Despite courage and prayers, she did not survive.
A loner man
Wrote this poem to kill the time
A trying hard sick poet
Can’t endure the agony of her death.
Now he decided
To be one of his poem’s character
His masterpiece’s player.
