"Trapped By Evil"

Life so dark here in the park
without laughter in a bed of nails
bruised the veins so red bleeding in me,
a wayward child hiding beneath the moon
weeping eyes defiled in this hell of darkness -

Peace with dreams trapped by evil thoughts
forced to give what I had lost the love in me
sharing tears with such woman as these,
their fear of living to die alone
in years forgotten now -

I held their hands
feeling what I couldn’t,
beaten bruised and broken
that used to be a beautiful woman
seeing myself with laughter in the mirror -

My father would have cursed to see him there
lying hurting me the stranger in the park,
my life wasted in tears hiding away
with hope too long in coming
crying in my sleep -

The teenage girl
in my Mother’s arms
her eyes so blue a hue,
pretty like the morning dew
my cheeks all red and blushing,

hearing her voice calling me home in Heaven.
"No need to cry before our Savior
who died for you to live,
the child born in me
free from sin -

My prayer for you
and woman such as these
who comforted you in the dark.
God have mercy in this madness
evil in man sexually abusing woman."
