This has been written specifcally for a 'Faith' poetry contest where they are looking for poems
that in some way pertain to this theme. It doesn't matter if it's
spiritual, political, intellectual or emotional as long as faith is
clearly represented. (Content may not be suitable for minors)
No Good Samaritan
Her screams,
silent, sordid screams
ricochet un-heeded.
She pleads,
silently pleads for salvation.
Silent... for they choose not to hear,
fail to assist, wrapping themselves
closer, cowering deeper into
the maelstrom of the city hive.
Eyes and ears avert with surgical precision
as they pass on by, refusing to be drawn,
granting him carte blanche;
he wields his instruments of torture,
laughing in the face of gutless crowds.
Groping, ripping, plundering, biting, suffocating...
Silence.
He walks away.
Sated...
for now.
