The Enemy to Innocence

Shouts echo down the corridor of a home,

interrupting the peaceful slumber of a child who

laments the quiet they once had when they were

embraced by love and warmth from those voices;

never discarded or chastised, but now

cruel to the touch, lacking sanctuary and safety, the

enemy to innocence.
