Honor thy Children

If you are blogging for the children during National Child Abuse Prevention Month, please share your blog post link in the comment section for this blog post.

Along with blogging for the children, I will be sharing many abuse awareness resource and informational links on my Arise Against Abuse page on Facebook. Feel free to like the page and share your links for child abuse prevention. (Keep in mind, I do reserve the right to delete any links I deem unworthy of being shared on my page.)

Take action now ... for the children.

You may also visit Arise Against Abuse on Squidoo for further reading of my poetry and prose on the topic of abuse.

This topic strikes very close to home for me ... in more ways than one.

To steal the sun from fertile land,
Leave in its place a cloud of gloom-
How dare you take me by the hand,
Walk me across the crowded room...


To whip the wind from pleasant hum,
Down to the dirt and cowed in space-
How dare you take songs that I strum,
String them along in shrouded place...


To slice the sky with frozen dart,
Douse my dreams with a silver storm-
How dare you take hold of my heart,
Bleed it broken in ploughed field form.
