The Turnaround
Lori R. Lopez
Following disasters
Unnatural, Man-wrought
The road to survival is eternal
Arduous, rubble-fraught
The aftermath and trauma
Need a lifetime to mend
For such wounds run so deep
That the scars have no end
Only in screaming
Can the bottomless numbth be released
From a dungeon of exile
Where emotions have ceased
Where Justice is deaf
And abusers untried
Thus the victim has kept
Blame and suffering inside
Yet these chains can we obliterate
Hearts and Truth set free
When the silence is broken
From you to me
Transformations will ripple
Forge links more profound
From sharing to caring
We can all turnaround.
