~In The Side Yard~

Singing in the side yard
innocence endangered
light thoughts encircling
curled hair in pigtails
not a care
never a suspected event
preying on such helplessness
such innocence here
in the side yard
with the marbles
glass rolling, crashing
swirling colors into one
snuck into her
took what wasn't their's
took purity from life
dirty fingernails
dirty tears
singing in the side yard,...nomore.

This sounds like an attack on a little girl?
Purity taken.
Truly sad, in the taken.
Truly sad, in man.
Truly sad, in the world.
If I could change it I surly would.
I do my part and then some.
As do you my friend, with this poem, statment.
Go back and look for one I did on Vacant eyes. It's the little ones that take all the crap that rolls down hill to them.
Keep it up kid, good job.
Joel.

I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

~Joel,...I got a chance to go back and read your poem Vacant Eyes. *sigh* It's a shame that some children are exposed to such things that literally steal their youth,...their innocence. Your poem was incredibly written...like a slap of reality to all who overlook the existence of such things. The poem I wrote here is about things I had to see and go through as a child that I feel sort of robbed me of having such careless, happy thoughts running through my head. Around other kids who I think had no idea what it was like to live in a nightmare....but I hid it pretty well so chances are they had some nightmares of thier own that they hid too. It truly is a shame...thanks for your reply. And Tracie...thank you as well.
