Bondage

Evil has no easy explanation Will they hate you for what you did To them as a helpless child The memory will not go away The wounds will never heal The evil that you did to them Will not soon depart Time will merely make them whole It is a crime that cannot be forgiven One which no punishment can be enough Yet people like you will continue And the children will still be raped, abused Made an actor of evil abuse They will be fondled, forced, defiled, By those who cannot help but evil be Those to whom no cure is certain You can pay your debt to society But you cannot change what happened to them Yes, they are children much loved Viewing their agonies to painful The lashes of life we cannot see Just by looking at them The emotional scars deep within Hoping to find a way to escape I pray for your victims Whose who had their childhood joys taken away At such an early age I pray that God has enough grace for you I pray you will never hurt a child again I pray that one day these child will be set free From the bondage you created in their souls.
