Saima

She exists in the 'auto-save' 
Of their system screens
They wonder, "if she ever screamed!"

Been a few days
Her puzzled weight 
Reached its grave

On the shoulders of 
A stinking bait

"She wasn't meek", 
They wonder. 
But why didn't she scream?

She lived her name, 'Saima'
Torn apart
Enlisted in her frail father's 
Worn out ration card

She is gone now 
He is silent 
More than ever 
How could she scream after all? 

She is gone now
It eased her pain, may be. 

The desk is moved 
Closer to the window
For someone new
