Dear Child

Dear Child lost to the streets

How can one find you amongst this traffic?
How can your heart reclaim its beat?
How can we reclaim you from the fanatic
Who removed what wasn't his?


Stolen on a quiet morning to school
clad in a blue uniform your body lies
undisturbed by the noise that gathers around you
you lie helpless under the sky.


How can I bring you back?
because at least then I can get rid
of all this guilt that feel
when I continue to go back
to the taxi which took your breath.

Yours truly,
the mother to be
