The Victims Poem by Ekwueme Kelechi

The Victims



We are the crumbs that fell from the bread of war
We escaped their table but not in whole

We were rejected by death
Levelled to earth by our kind

Despised but accepted by the cold hands of the night
The day stared at us mockingly

It jeered us
Breathing words into our chubby kind

They called us THE VICTIMS
And that's what we are

We are the THEORY of human unkindness
