"A Lament for Irreparable Harm"
In darkened realms, where shadows lurk and creep,
Evil's presence festers, a wound that will not sleep.
Hatred's venom spreads, a stain that will not fade,
Leaving scars that time cannot erase, nor tears invade.
Murder's cruel hand has torn apart and slain,
Lives shattered, futures lost, and hearts left to remain.
The echoes of sorrow, a haunting, mournful refrain,
As justice falters, and the guilty escape the strain.
Tyranny's iron grip has crushed the weak and meek,
Oppression's heavy chains have bound the innocent unique.
The voiceless have suffered, their cries silenced and cold,
As evil's minions have reveled, their hearts grown old.
Rape's brutal violence has shattered trust and shattered might,
Leaving survivors with wounds that will haunt through the night.
The memories of that fateful night, a recurring, dreadful sight,
A pain that time cannot heal, nor love redeem in all its light.
