Exploited
Hammered taps
And shuddered knocks
Then thrown to floor
And echoing clunk
Exploited
Touch to touch
Thrust and force
Unwanted future
Predestined
No privilege of choice
The chosen weep
Too young to know
Too weak to run
Exploited
Like books lined upon a shelf
He chooses
Exploited
Tears run deep
Smudged and clotted
Down saddest face
And he laughs
The same face on all
Maniac smirk
Then tugged along
And screams
Then gone
Another has left
One more close call
One step closer to own fate
Exploited
Relief but for an instant
No fond memory to cling
No escape
She waits
Cell, rations and chains
Prisons antonymous hell
Exploited. . .
