Orphan Whisper
October 4, 2010
There stands a dingy building
where twenty orphans sleep
in a rusty room
with broken windows,
and no heat.
Of these twenty children
one will die tonight
because no heard his cries,
and no one saw him bleed,
and no one read him
Good Night Moon
before he fell asleep.
When morning comes,
empty tummies will beg for food,
lonely children will want to play,
and a dead boy will be forgotten
lost forever
in a whisper of the orphans.
