She yelled.
But no one heard.
Her hands strangled;
Chained in despair.
She cried.
But no one helped.
She hit her head hard against the wall
She fell.
Yet, no head turned.
Her hardships were not theirs
Her pains were but her own affairs
Then they sit back and at afternoon tea
Discuss the sad state of the world
And what it had come to be.
Reading the newspaper headlines,
