Her heart was in the right
Her hand she lends with light
She drew a huddled mass
Without cruelty or crass

“Whose desire is death?”

Her tearing song with hallowed breath –
Naiveté, a melody with open arms, yet
inevitable change has made corruption full
Tentacles of hate once veins of gold
Now veins of venom her fathers foretold

Who forthwith will take her in
her life now old?

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

Dear JL, you leave me wondering about that inevitable change and to what degree it influences those involved.

This poem has such a powerful impact and sadly I guess there are more such cases than we suspect. Illness also can completely change a person, I have observed that.

Profoundly sad, may divine love bring healing to this situation. Your writing is deeply stirring.
