Residential Child :

A child in the system , A child who was unknown. beaten and abused this **** was condone , The church was my saviour so I was told , Then why was I treated so ugly and cold Lies they had told to cover the truth , 30 years later I Speak to the youth addiction and pain affected my life, Covering the tears I hid from the light. hard to move on , harder to forget , I remember my friend that Lil brunette Beaten and bloody and left in that room , whoever knew that would become her tomb but now it is out , I can start to heal , the church must be held for the lives that they steal I'm To old to show hate, But too proud to give in , Let this be a reminder of the world we live in! Ghetto Child
