ABUSED, PEDOPHILE, SCHOOL VIOLENCE by Cynthia Roerick

ABUSED

Ragged, scared, abused.

Cries unheard.

Mouths famished.

Hell is for children.

PEDOPHILE

Undisguised,

Stalking smallest wonders

To quench the devil

Hidden inside.

SCHOOL VIOLENCE

Red painted hallways

Faces splashed with fear.

Words left unspoken

As life disappears.
