begging invoking
a stone deaf god
in the hearts of
man but none
hear her plea
a mother
held captive
by a cosmic
force in a
vicious grip
no more free
she lost her
youth her
beauty
lost all
her illusions
her dreams
her hope
mother of
two children
she lost her
humanity
her husband
a lazy drunkard
good for nothing
neglect apathy
forces her to beg
misplaced charity
a wife a mother
to be or not to be
i tried to shoot her
inner angst her emotions
but all i shot was her humility
