Maimed Poem by persian khushi

Maimed



Scarred for life
Screams unheard
Abused and broken
A little body convulsing with pain
Society to blame
Turning a blind eye
Too young to understand
Born on the wrong side of town
A future bleak
Youth incomplete
Tortured souls
Seeking comforts
With the wrong crowds
Heroes of tomorrow
High on substance abuse
Poverty stricken
Unlettered
Confused and misunderstood
A country, fast coming to her knees
Crime and corruption the order of the day

Truth has been unfolded in these words, yes youth some lack confidence, needs to be guided to become tomorrows heroes! But poverty takes booze and jigs in some parts of every country.
