    Scars

    A sleeping beast beneath a placid lake
    Has risen, trailing venom in his wake.
    Young innocents on whom he fell now cower
    In tearful terror of pent-up unleashed power.
    His lashing tongue has spat forth flame, his grin
    Has left its lifelong scars beneath their skin.

    His wounding done, he drags his loathsome bulk
    Beneath the swirling waters, there to sulk.

    Thank you for your advise. I do hope to find assistance in these matters. This poem is wonderful, dose it concern the young people you help?

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
