[hometext] => 'In Country' is a phrase used in the Vietnam war to describe hostile territory. An apt description for abusive and dangerous families.
[bodytext] =>  Battered children, broken hearts, Trust exploited along with their bodies. The sad eyes of a child who has grown up with no love or affection, Never having felt themselves to be the glorious centre of anyone's world. A child who grows to adulthood, Never knowing - perhaps suspecting, That life could have been sweeter If only there had been more attention, more patience. A baby dead from the hands of a protector, Sprawled open and gutted on an autopsy table, As if the cause of death lay there. Instead, let us dissect our world and seek the real cause. Where children are becoming, not whole. Where children are property, not individuals. Where, in the images of purity, vulnerability and precocity With which we love to dress our children, Lies the magnet for anger, lust and desecration. Then, after resecting our world (for it's the only one we have), Turn our scalpels inwards, to the Blind genome that led us to the top of the hill, Where we sit, victorious and alone Our mouths wet from the blood of conquest.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
