My heart was pierced when I saw a man who's hardships mapped their way across his face and I saw another poison the very air he breathes.

I felt hopelessness hang in the air like a suffocating blanket of despair when I watched my father beat my mother to a pulp.

I tried to save her, but the chains only ever dug deep into my soul.

I felt the profound stench of death when his wife, a mother took her last breath and his soul died with her.

I felt the mother's agony and helplessness when she held her daughter's lifeless body in her arms wondering how to die next.

And I know the daughter was enslaved by the vile fear of the very men who fathered her.

Maybe our world is hell.
