child abuse – Page 2

Ronovan provides the words. Then a haiku follows. Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way and this week there are two. The second to get the taste of the first out of your mouth.

they sing his praises

Peace in the name of their god

and then rape children

Harsh but true. I think it’s about time people stopped using the phrase ‘Child Abuse’ and call it what it is. Child Rape. Yeah, you know who they are…

Malcolm

A fiction piece I did for the Carrot Ranch rodeo competition. 100 words on growing up and knowing then what you know now.

A cold wind blew through the broken window as Malcolm sat naked and alone in the dark, skinny bruised arms pulling his knees tight to his chest. He rocked slowly on the stained, unmade bed and started to cry as he heard the sound of heavy footsteps.

“Bad man says fingers on lips, shhhh” he told himself pressing a grubby finger against his mouth. A shadow obscured the sliver of light that crept under his door.

Malcolm reached beneath the pillow for the long sliver of glass he’d taken from the broken pane.

“Not this time” he whispered to himself.
