Separation (an Accidental Sonnet)
for those countless children orphaned by a malevolent State
1 blue wails surfeit fluorescent
mausoleum walls flooded with
sheer fear those young
tears spend less time
5 falling but remain still
who do we think
we are anyways brutal
retribution to follow shortly
but suffering persists longer
10 than we will
care because we broke
so many
hearts that can never be
mended (again)
