Victim
She felt
a blow, blood slid down her face.
She
turned her head, the blow was stronger.
She looks
at him with a wounded look.
He
shouted, "Prostitute!"
She
hugged the child, he kidnapped him.
The blow
threw the child onto the bed.
With
tears he begged to let go of his mother.
Dad drank
another glass of alcohol,
smashed
the bottle against the wall.
He spat
at her.
He
dragged her hair across the floor.
He kicked
his stomach.
She was
pregnant.
She was
in pain.
She sacrificed
herself for a child, he is his father.
Tomorrow
is a new day.
They will
look for a better life.
They will
no longer be victims of violence.
Peace
The
morning woke up,
I feel
peace in and around myself.
Freedom
sings songs
with birds
and humans.
There are
no divisions,
people
are peaceful.
They love
each other as well
as the
nature that surrounds them.
Planet
Earth is celebrating
because
peace has finally won
war,
famine and poverty...
I'm
celebrating too.
Striving For Survival
Life has
kindly opened the door for me.
I let it
enter me and together we build dream houses
with lots
of windows and doors.
Wondering
why?
The
answer is simple.
The light
of the people enters through the window,
and I let
the children through the door,
for they
are a medal of goodness.
I teach
them how good it is to carry a star in your eye,
and in
your hand a piece of bay leaf,
in your
hair an olive branch.
Thus you
become protected from all those who call darkness the sun
and who
do not see a finger over the nose.
I am not
afraid,
because
with my smile I melt the cold in people
and I
love that I am still an innocent child
who sees
in people only kindness and humanity.
I greet
the sun with gratitude because
I believe
in happiness, health and love.
