Ivory Madonna
abandoned in the dust,
carved from infants’
blood laced tears –
their hacked off faces
seduce the lust.
See the whole world weeping,
carrying the pain,
heading for disaster’s
burden of beast’s and famine
when winter comes again.
Wasted, starving children’s
ghosted sockets cry,
begging us, their saviour,
for manna on the plain.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
In the end all you want is a pen that writes well and a life that you've lived well.

Oh, those poor, beautiful creatures. I cannot stand cruelty to animals (or innocent children and people, for that matter). They don’t understand. They just do not understand. They experience fear, bewilderment, and pain, too. 😦

It’s such a tragic, ongoing mentality that persist. One day we might evolve to be better. Thank you for your thoughts.

I read your poem and felt ashamed of myself. I get so caught up in my world, my life. I worry about my children, my family, my pets and so often forget to look outward into the world and the horror that exists there. Thank you for posting. Its an important reminder. As decent, humane people we should not ignore the injustice on the world, whether it involve man or animal. Also, your poem was beautifully written and the accompanying image incredibly powerful.

Thank you so much. It is fantastic to read such as you wrote in these times we face. Sometimes it is a bit like, ‘are we even seeing this’ and of course we all have priorities, that is only natural, but we also have time somewhere and compassion – we must use them wisely and more often to fight the many atrocities today; most of which are caused by us and it makes the likes of yourself feel this way…which is wrong. But we can help if we look and educate ourselves – that is all I ever strive to do – bring it to the attention of as many as I can. Thank you again for reading and your compassion.
