My Nightmare

I close my eyes
Sounds flash

Yelling
Crying
Laughing

I close my eyes
Starving bone kids
Chasing, Playing tag
Smiling
Not a care
in the world

Eight kids to a bed
While Grown-ups
Eat loudly
As they try
To
Fall
Asleep

I close my eyes
NO!
NO!
She is forced
down
Fucked
By a man
Supposed to care
For her

I close my eyes
I open them,
I saw the girl

Sweating
She wakes up
Sitting up
Unsettled
having no idea
What she just saw
While
I know exactly
What happened
