Hell's Children
Chains and cupcakes
This was written for a prompt on Instagram — chains and cupcakes. I haven’t written traditional poetry (rhyme) in a while, but felt this it was fitting for the poem.
I heard the children chanting -
chains and cupcakes
pain so sweet
wretched flesh
is ours to eat
desecrated
marked for death
healing comes
with your last breath.
