A poem a day for 2013 - day 34 - Untitled. Because who could name it anyway?

Don't ask me why I write 
So many poems about 
Rape 
Dead babies 
Missing children
Ask your priests 
Principals
Pastors
Why they keep promoting 
Excusing rapists

Ask your gang members
Politicians 
Police
School bullies
Why our babies are dying
Ask them what they get per head
Go make deals 
With the devils you know

March door to door looking 
Back yards 
Under basement beds
Inside prison walls
For our children
Stolen from their homes

This is not nothing
This is a something
This is our biggest something

Our safety
Our children
Our lives
