Babes in Arms.
By Sharon Maria Moemise



If you were just a little child
In a world resembling the wild
where your parents are the beasts
huge fangs awaiting, you as their feast

If you were that sleepy little one
Awoken by the sound of a blazing gun
Waking to violent prods and painful poking
Not your mommy's loving, gentle stroking

If you were just that little babe
What would be your best escape
when home has become your torture cell
and the rest of humanity gone straight to hell?

If you were that sweet little thing
Whose existence, happiness should bring
Would you be sturdy against forces of evil
when, instead, you are served up as soup for the devil?

If you were that little child
Whose lifeless little body found in the wild
Ravaged by the same humans, who pretend to mourn
Would you even have wanted to be born?

Apparently our society's face looks to be very calm and peaceful like the surface of sea, but the vicious under current and turbulence always persists in it.

Any poem of yours that I read, I happen to like it. This is the third one I am reading, and all three are quite good. 'where your parents are the beasts huge fangs awaiting, you as their feast' - It's so unfortunate for any innocent child to have parents like this! 'If you were that little child Whose lifeless little body found in the wild Ravaged by the same humans, who pretend to mourn Would you even have wanted to be born? ' - Deeply touched!

mm.. I've just left a comment on another of your poem, so I don't want to repeat myself.. only say that I abhor those vile, 'subhuman' people who abuse of children (and women) .. and quite often, those people are inside the family! thanks for sharing, Maria Peace
