Treading through the wet woods, her foot slipped
The spine-chilling thought of solitude from her soul did trip!
And the moment she lost her footing was hushed, quiet and calm
Her eyes got cemented to her forehead sensing that fiend’s palm!
He sealed her tongue with his creepy sinuous hands
Downtrodden, demoralized she felt when he called his gang and bands!
Endless effort from her side could do nothing of those unceasing wills
Then was the time, she failed to recall the Humanity’s songs and all the trills!
Fighting to have the foothold, her heels ached and she cried her soul out
Then was the time, to be a part of ‘humankind’ sprang up the doubts!
Lagging, combating, falling behind and hanging back
set was so dark and black!
A flood of tears dampened her butter-soft cheeks
She was seven-years-old, give or take a few weeks!
Throwing that tiny little, sinless flower wilted in the pile of trash- the waste
Could that be the dream-bed she was supposed to be placed?
Secured? She would never feel, not in this world for sure
But yes, being a magnetism of attraction and charismatic allure!
Benevolence is beyond doubt the prevalent wanting
Or else on Earth, you’ll see engraved ‘A haunting…!’

Events like this are the most harrowing to read about, and in my eyes is the cruelest act anyone could do. It makes you believe that being a part of humankind is the biggest sin, because being part of a species that would do this makes me personally want to leave humankind, because it is not beautiful. The fear and emotions of this seven year old girl you write about are real life, and it is more haunting than anything because she is at the age most defenceless. At her age of childhood, she should not know about the bad things of humankind, she should be a soul who is free, and see the beautiful parts of the world through her eyes. I don't think you could write a more realistic poem, because she is a victim, and you write about her fear and the things that will happen to her. I especially love the last sentence, because it teases that her gravestone is the last thing you will ever see about this seven year old girl, and that is one of the most haunting things ever to see. We need to protect all children from a fate like this, and I hope one day we all can. This is haunting Rehmat, so dark yet it's real life. Your words to show her fear are excellent, and your rhyming is powerful. An excellent poem, and one that will stay with me for days.

So true dearest! It is, for sure the cruelest act anyone could do. I won't call him a man but yes a monster, a beast without a heart!
Unbelievably sad, but excellent, Rehmat, man's barbarity is so hard to believe sometimes!
