for a certain father
obviously,
he had never known, or had forgotten
Marcus Garvey
and Malcolm
and Martin
and Marley
as he went chasing
the devil’s dollars
at an adult playground
in Hell –
gambling or begging,
both have the same smell
he, too hypnotized
by money machines
to hear his
daughter’s screams
she, seeking attention
among demons –
a little girl playing hide-and-go-seek,
not knowing or understanding
that demons play for keeps
here, it does not take much
to attract monsters
pimps, pranksters
madmen, or gangsters
who knows how many
dead bodies
may lay undiscovered
all across this country?
little girls
were not made to be violated
or molested
or have their necks broken
and twisted
or to be stuffed down into
toilets
Islam, Christianity, nor morality
has ever been a true priority
in a barbarian-ruled country
little girls of seven
were made to be in Heaven
it is time
for a New World examination –
a re-evaluation
of our evolving Creation
it is time
to weed out
the clever demons
who would allow the murder of little girls
such as Sherrice Iverson
[1998: 7-year-old Sherrice Iverson was murdered in a Nevada casino bathroom by Jeremy Strohmeyer while his companion, David Cash, watches.]
