Darlene Sayles A wooden stick Nine leather thongs Has traveled across the sea. An admiring crowd Stands 'round a boy Looking and yelling with glee. They beheld this whip with Interested eyes Never thinking of the tale Of the brutal band that wielded It That flayed the feeble with the well. Think, of the Innocent flesh It has torn, The cries of pain On the sultry air, The bodies bruised And spirits broken Where the old do weep And the young, despair. And still this thing Of torture and dread. Is regarded with envious Wonder and awe, Let’s hope these laughing boys Will never know, The sting, and horrors Of the “Cat’s" cruel claw.
