Mummy is weeping,
Daddy is grieving,
Come back home- little sister is pleading.
Uncle is saddened,
Aunty is weary,
Come back home- danger lurks outside it.
Daddy was blinded,
Mummy was absent,
When danger- made a place in our home.
It dressed up as uncle,
Armoured by Aunty,
Danger- is within our four walls.
Mummy is weeping,
Daddy is grieving,
Little sister- I am breaking within.
Uncle Is saddened,
Aunty is weary,
No one’s there- to take on their torment.
Danger ain’t always,
Reflected by strangers-
Stranger danger isn’t often the case.
Those close to home,
Sometimes commit the worse sins;
I wish mum and dad had believed me.
So sad 😦 Hope everything is ok Xx

Everything is alright over here, thank you for asking. But for so many children, nothing is okay. And that is what I wanted to depict with the poem. The hidden tragedy in so many homes.

Yes, I get your point. But many of us are helpless in this case.. Living with the only hope that education and awareness will one day win over these issues and concerns. 😦
