IN MEMORY OF HUMANITY
This one's for the red head girl,
living in the slum motel.
Her only source of fun,is a broken swing.
Mommy's in a rubber room,
daddy's sleeping off the booze.
Whenever he's awake,he wants to touch her again.
This ones for her day of birth.
Something changed here on the Earth.
This little girl from nowhere,is a martyr in blood.
Oh,she will keep her sanity,
Though you and I,HUMANITY,
will reap what we have sown,and never suffer enough.

Wow! By rubber room you mean prostitution? I think so! I like this. It's so playfully dark and interesting. The picture makes me think Chucky and the leaves make me think ghost but there's just a greyness about this poem that catches the eye. Great job J.

What a sad tale...but told so well...
Between a mother who is mentally ill
and a father who is an alcoholic...
who will take care of this child?
From my perspective this child
needs enormous resilience and talent
to overcome a problem with genetics
(mental illness may be inheritable and
so is alcoholism) and enviroment...extreme
poverty leads to nutritional and environmental deprivation.
The title is perfect
Well done
