The harrowing story of unaccompanied minor children

Of The Disappeared

by Regina Elliott

Unaccompanied and in fear,
in weariness, hunger, thirst,
they crossed the ominous
border.
Helpless children with
imploring eyes,
given to so called adult
sponsors,
then became of the
disappeared.

Some soulless politicians
who wield the power,
have the shameful stain
of guilt and indifference.
Helpless children with
imploring eyes,
where are many thousands
of them?
In the shadows of the
nation of the disappeared.
