Epigraphs 2
 
  More epigraphs from my scaredsafe.org web site, including one in prose from the Home Page...

The purpose to this site is to establish an effective lay resource in direct opposition to the burgeoning international slave trade and the humiliation, abuse and degradation of women and children.
(prose... For the home page)

How do you know when to intervene?
There's no right way to mistreat a woman!
Sadly, many men are weak and mean
And the cruel things they do are inhuman!
(for “Gang Bang”)

Enslaved, then freed,
Young girls are soft spoken,
Weakened by their need,
Tempted by a love token,
Their faith is betrayed
And their spirits broken...
(for “Going Home”)

Love lost and found...
Poison Pearls, Boys 'n' Girls
That was how it started
In the end, a special friend
Was left broken hearted
She's sadly lost to me,
Lovers before we parted.
(for “6-6-6”)

Did you ever see a young girl with an old woman's eyes?
Where happiness is a thing of the past (if ever...) ,
Too soon she's endured life's burdens and become sadly wise,
An old stone with the brightness of youth eddying 'round her.
She's lost her childhood - Her life has become a web of lies
And, spiderlike, something or someone has done this to her.
********************************
This epigraph later became the beginning of what was to become 'The Loss of Innocence'
(An unusual rhyming sestina that can be seen on this web site...)
(for “We All Agree...)

WE are protected from the world,
Yes, YOU too! You there with your toys!
Your games, cell phones and computers,
You, who've never seen the stark, gnarled
Fingers a hard life leaves with no joy,
No Hope, no love and no future!
(for “Cigarettes”)
