The slippery steel blade <br />The pointed tip of hope <br />In forgotten times it is a light that deceives <br />Reflecting an ugly scene that is a mirror of dark dreams <br />The screams cannot be heard from the blade <br />It swallows the gaping wound <br />Devastating the little ones <br />Don't say a word.<br /><br />Phillippa Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mocking-bird-3/
