Child Abuse Poem

So many children in the world today
experiencing pain in every single way
neglected by the people who brought them into this world
you see the burns on a little boy, and bruises on a little girl

and it breaks your heart as you see the marks that will scar
representing their torture, but shining on who they really are
another little angel inflicted with wounds
to much for any person to ever consume

and it makes you wonder why any parent would cause them harm
when they should be dazzled with the amount of their charm
their sweet as can be, how can innocence ever be bad
they don't deserve to be abused, they should be happy not sad

mothers and fathers should be tucking them in bed
not burning painful memories deep in their head
they should be kept warm and safe in their own home
not crying and locked up in a room all alone

poor little children I know you can't sleep
the only thing you can do is pray and weep
and hope that an angel hears you and takes you away from your world
so you don't ever again have to feel hurt
