Dem Tiff Our Pikin - Child Trafficking

Dem Tiff Our Pikin Child Trafficking Her echoing screams pierced the night unreeling an impending woe rousing every slumbering soul prompting a sudden madness The other sits then strains looking out with earnest yearnings scarcely seeing the distance streaming out the tears remembering many sorrows as she recounts her story This one grows weary as her mind wanders off overly flustered by the seemly misty dust stirred by roaming feet scantily clothed barely holding on bemused by this troubling reality grasping weakly to her unbroken will The other held on to fate even as she alter her faith squatting with a furrowed face staring blankly at the beaming sun regurgitating their last words visualizing her lost world
