Wretchedness of Humanity
by Melissa Martin

Global wars;
Traumatized children,
Sobbing mothers,
Lonely widows,
Fatherless families,
Countries in mourning.

Somalia refugees;
U.S. centers for victims of torture,
Posttraumatic stress disorders,
Broken psyches, shattered spirits, defeated bodies,
Crying tears of red.

Bleeding humanity.

Watery grave;
Malice and mystery in California,
Laci Peterson and Conner.

Frozen casket;
Abducted from a mall in North Dakota,
Dru, everyone's daughter in college.

Desert tomb;
Sexually molested and murdered,
Danielle, innocent flowering maiden.

Grieving humanity.

Thieves in the night:
Stealing our security,
Trampling justice,
Devaluing human life.

Wretchedness of Humanity.

Melissa writes about the God and human connection and condition.
