The Pain of A Child

The Pain of A Child, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

pictures frames
within frames
as they slide
move forward
backward
caught in a grid
a moment
i captured
on the soul
of my cosmic
consciousness
before it slid
i caught
the pain of an adult
in the soul of a kid
within the meshes
of innocence camouflaged
well hid i almost skid
a pain like a spark
from her pain
into my pain
entered the doors
of my eyelids
a poetic pause
as it backslid
why do men
infect their
perversion
on the innocence
of little children
even babies and kids
a crime not just
humanity
but god forbids
