Where Mary Lay
April 8, 2016
Where Mary lay,
alone and cold,
her heart lives one last beat,
Ending her pain
and great sorrow
of torture and defeat.
Yet here we stand
we’ve seen it all
the murder, the violent kill,
A death unplanned,
a deadly fall,
a justice unfulfilled.
Long we live,
and silent we stay,
not a word, not a cry, not a thought.
No one grieves
for Mary’s day,
a battle still left unfought.

I wrote this poem about the injustice and wrongs against women in the world; this has got to change.
