Sneak Peak Of A Poem From Issue Two

Seasons Greetings to everyone! We promised you a sneak peek of a poem from issue two, and boy do we have a great one for you. Hope you enjoy it! Here it is:

HEAL

Little girl from Africa
Was only three years old.
Hide and seek in the sunshine,
her heart was made of gold.
She didn’t know they would come.

Little girl from Africa
was just a baby girl.
She wore pretty dainty frocks,
she chose not to have any curls.

Little girl from Africa
She always ran and played.
Smiled with her family,
beans and grain in the shade.
She didn’t know they would come.

Little girl from Africa
was seized by three men.
Each took their turn,
pushed hard inside her gem.

Little girl from Africa
Didn’t know they would come.
Soldiers used themselves and weapons,
she screamed even after they were done.

Little girl from Africa
they asked her mother
“how does your daughter feel?”
The mother replied with tears,
“she is learning on how to heal.”
