Amnon

I don’t know what
To say about the women
Who have died
Who were murdered
Or left
To die another way,
Another kind
Of murder
x
Casualties
In war or other
Barbarism
Starved, thirsted
Frightened
Or abandoned out
Of existence
x
We can do this
We can do this to each other
Men can do this
To women

This is such a moving poem. I feel like there is a lot of abandonment going on in the world today. Thank you for sharing.

I’m glad to share what I can. Thank you for your response. I think you’re right about abandonment; people are treated disposably by those who only want what they want.
