Little ones

Little ones by Eleto 2012/06/06 08:56
Remnants and scraps
Tossed and dirty
Unbefitting for dogs
And other animals
Yet luxury in these parts

As little ones
Thirsty and hungry
Left unattended by death
Rush at such foods for survival

Little ones
Left unattended by death
Doomed from the onset
By their birth and now death

Death of guardians and
Loved ones
Whose wish and
Cry for a better life fell to the
Ground as death stared them in the face
Heaving and sighing
They breathed their last

Little ones
Innocent and naive
Watching in fear and confusion
As the clouds of death gather
On and around their huts
Circling crumbled roofs
Nightly
Seeking a prey

A victim of Aids
Hunger or malnutrition
So it can be rid of their misery
Yet itself leaving misery behind
Never acknowledging the little ones

Little ones
Whose innocence soon will be stolen
By savages and bullies
Waiting to feed on their minds
Bodies and
Innocence

Only to prepare them for death
When finally the clouds again gather
Circling round crumbled roofs
