When No One Cares Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Tears flow from her heart
Unhindered by the silence in her world
The absence of comforting voices
Rips through her hurting heart
Exposing her already fragile spirit
To the memories of a loveless world
A careless world that stand still
Unaware of her tormented life

Her dreams stolen by strangers
Her life abandoned by those she loved
Because no one really cares
Cares about her loss of virginity
To a violent act of rape
At a tender age of twelve
Because no one really cares
Cares about her dead parents
Slaughtered by a brutal gang of political despots
Because no one really cares
Cares about her impending suicide
Because no one cares
