Into Insanity
I will never sleep again
the memory of my kind
tossed in the veld
haunts my every day and night
Woman girls on the way to a party
I cannot speak of what was done to them
panties stuff their mouths
open thighs slick with blood and semen
hands tied with barbed wire
eyes bulging in horror
The neighbors came to gawk at their sprawled nakedness
A woman covered their corpses with her blankets
In the sun for six hours before the police came
No child saved from
the power and violence of men
I live in constant fear
I cannot sleep again
