News Report 1

A Poem by Kitty

"On the news tonight,"
The TV man said.
"Two little girls,
Raped and dead.

"They were last seen playing
Out on their porch.
But now nothing remains,
Because, to death, they were scorched.

"And in other news,
Foreigners were held up and robbed today.
My warning to them:
They should've stayed away.

"Well," said the news-man,
"So ends our hourly update.
Join us again in a couple of minutes
For more news of killing and hate."

He wiped the tears
Which began falling from his eyes.
"Welcome to South Africa," he closed.
"Are you ready to die?"

This is scary! No one should have to live that way.
Well written poem. I could feel your sense of helplessness and hopelessness.
