INTRODUCTION
This book is composed of poetry of different styles as well as real-life stories of suffered terror, struggles, and tragedies that leave victims lost with no hope and with nowhere to turn. I stepped into my mindset and imagined victims telling their horrors, with the hope of encouraging those who feel like they have no voice to finally speak up, share their survival stories, bring to justice monsters, as well as save lives of the many experiencing the same thing. I know some of these stories because I am a victim, wrestling with suicidal thoughts daily, who has to reach deep down inside to overcome the returning nightmares every second of the day. Now is the time. Our time to stand up, speak up, and speak out with the reassurance that we will be okay, for we are survivors who took their best shots and are still here to make the seemingly impossible, possible with the ability to finally go on and live.
Thank you.

NO EXIT FOR US
A MUSLIM’S STORY
by God_of_War_7
Living in constant fear
A victim held hostage just because of the region I live in
Suffering great losses
Attending funerals for the young and old daily
I’ve buried most of my friends at a young age
Not clearly understanding why this was happening back then
But I do now
Seeing no hope as the future for us becomes bleak by the hour
We watch your bombs light up the night sky
As we flee
Scattering about
Residing in underground shelters
Doing our best to survive these freezing frightening onslaughts
Where we are shaking frantically
It’s so cold down here
We haven’t eaten for days
Our wounded are infected from shrapnel
This nuclear fallout is taking the lives of innocent women and children
But I must tell you the truth of what’s really going on here
Your country wages a war that’s clearly based on personal gain
You attack us for the natural preserve that these holy lands produce
We remember the attack of September 11, 2001
As we were just as sad as you were
From that moment on
We knew that the enemy blame and target would be placed upon us
Not once did you use reasonable logic
You didn’t once question the tactics of your own government
Now this grave injustice has all but destroyed good people
People like you who seek happiness
Wanting for their families to have the best
Needing to live in peace
Where there is none
It’s funny how your government went through great measures to lie, hide and conceal evidence
Like the black boxes from those planes
Or the video shots from that hotel across the interstate, on top of those hotels
Your government is guiltier of war crimes than 1,000 Saddam Husseins put together
They are the murderous thieves who’ve taken countless lives for personal gain
Pushing their political views for a fake free democracy on the rest of the world
Which is nothing more than republic control and hidden dictatorship
Anyone who doesn’t agree automatically becomes an instant enemy
You need examples . . .
How about the annihilation of the true Native Americans
Whose land you took
Robbing them of riches and gold
Then proceeding in mass murders and putting the rest of them on reservations?
Or even worse
How about the total global destruction of the true Asian (the original Black man)?
Putting them in chains of bondage and placing them on slave ships
Making them sow your fields, building you a powerful empire
You
