Voice Unheard

In shadows deep, where horrors breed,
Two souls stood bare, in dire need.
Their innocence, their dignity torn,
By hands of cruelty, hearts forlorn.

Ten months have passed, yet justice eludes,
As perpetrators roam, in twisted feuds.
But how can it be, that women say,
"In war, all's fair," in cruel display?

Where lies the compassion, the empathy true,
For sisters in suffering, for hearts so blue?
Should not women shield women, in strife,
And stand as one, to protect precious life?

Yet here we stand, in disbelief,
As women turn cold, in their belief.
But we refuse to let their voices fade,
For justice we seek, for the wrongs to be laid.

In war or in peace, let it be known,
That empathy's flame shall never be blown.
