6 Hidden Truth
Hidden Truth
His actions vindicated with two words
bring little solace to his worn down soul;
For deep within he knows the scary truth
they'll come from out of the woodwork in herds.
Where solace should embrace his worn down soul,
this verdict lays an old case at his feet;
a young boy's death now takes a greater toll.
As impetus for kidnapping our youth,
this two word verdict is a defeat
which drives home within him the scary truth;
they'll come from out of the woodwork in herds.
A young boy's life now worth a greater toll,
with impetus for kidnapping our youth;
His actions vindicated with two words.
it has been quite some time since i found myself participating in a Three Word Wednesday [3WW=>impetus, solace, vindication(-ion+ed)]. i'm sure i could probably deduce why it has taken me so long (since returning from my self-imposed exile) to return, but i'll save us all such a crazy rambling. as for why this week i cannot say, especially when you consider the words. i'm not really sure i did justice to the 'impetus'...or any of the 3WW words.
upon first reading them, they made me think of an episode recently on "Harry's Law" that i saw. i don't know if the poem makes sense outside of having seen the episode, but...
i am double dipping today by offering this up for OpenLinkNight over at dVerse~Poets Pub.

There is no excusing the stealing of a child's innocence. I believe that there is one court of justice we all have to face at the end of our days and whether justice is served or not here, it will be eventually.
ReplyDeletePowerful, disturbing write because, it's so true.
Depthful write on innocence lost. Glad you returned to 3WW.
ReplyDeleteYes, a difficult but sensitively written piece..Jae
