HER

Rumours ran round
Senseless citizens sat
Observing Le Monde -
Sixteen year-old Silent Source
Murderer of eleven year-old Innocent Life
Parents across the room
Tears of hatred, anger, violence
Shouted indefinite blasphemes:
Sentence for life, heartless creature!

Innocent was eleven, Silent is sixteen
At eleven, Silent was Innocent
In her soul.
Old ones scattered across the world,
To her eyes brought deadly visions
Of rape and abuse
A coldness was established
For her heart, determined to revenge
Refused to obey.

Across the room, parents heard media
Testimonies of her imperfections -
She is possessed with evil spirits
For she was born from hell, they say in accord
Silent knows parents, friends,
Tears of anger and hatred
Will never know they killed Innocent in her
Hidden loving kindness buried within her
Their fury cannot depict
For Le Monde proclaims
Silent murderer of Innocent.
