Not Even A Number Poem by Eric Cockrell

Not Even A Number



tiny small hands
curled up in death
that reached for the breasts
of the mother....

lips swollen and parted,
face bruised and distorted,
left to rot.... in a dumpster.

spit out by the system,
trash begats trash...
no one knows the name
of mother or child....

in the land of Jesus,
SUV's and credit cards,
not a prayer....
not even a number!
