Little Johnathan

My name is little Jonathan, I am old 4 years old My daddy never loved me; my mummy’s hugs are cold My sister is always screaming, she sometimes don’t come home When mummy and daddy both go out, I’m left here on my own My name is little Jonathan, I’m 7 years old today My skin has purple blotches, that won’t go away Daddy is always angry; he comes home late at night I hear mummy and daddy rowing, that then turns to a fight My name is little Jonathan and now I’m almost eight My body is so scrawny, because I haven’t ate The kids at school make fun of me, because of my dirty clothes I’m use to taking the punches now; I’m use to blocking the blows My name is little Jonathan, and soon I will be nine A lady came to my school one day and said it will be fine I do not live with mummy now, I live with someone new I have some really lovely clothes, my body’s better too I’m told what mummy and daddy done, was wrong, Thiers no excuse A child cannot defend themselves, defend themself from child abuse
