Abandoned discarded unwanted trash
Alone, naked sitting on a pile of ash
Broken, beaten, bleeding, blue-gray
Bewildered, bemused, hope taken away
Cruel crooked men robbed dignity from her
Contemplating why these tragedies would occur
Defeated, depressed, down, despairing
Does life need to be so callous and uncaring?
Excruciating pain pierces pleasure
Emptiness steals away all treasure
Fornication for fleeting fortune flies
Fondling her own breasts she cries
Gracious God, where are you in my despair?
Goodness seems gone. Are you even there?
Hell's heated holocaust haunts
Hypocritical ridicule taunts
I am here he answers in the silent air
I have have and always will be there
Justice, joyous, jubilation
Jesus brings into your broken fragmentation

What a fantastic quatrain penned with rhyme, meter and alliteration. The emotional impact of composing it this way is extremely powerful.

Even in her own desperate desperate despair
She cried out for God and he answered her prayer
A very sad poem..but I hope she heard God's answer..
Best of luck in the contest
