Exploited solution washes
polluted chemically.
No fresh water flows
down such shower drains.
Cries agonized voices
torn shredded apart
as victim human nails
claw shred concrete walls.
Walls re-cemented every
three wipe-out weeks.
Flesh selected compressed
confined sealed gassed chambers
choked entangled in streams
secluding solution blood.
Children weeping last
heard sentry mockery echo.
Reaching for clinging
shredding. Bare skirt-less legs.
A modified extract from the poem ‘Stone Cross’.
