Prisi (Nursery Crime)

Quiet while I take attendance But there's one missing all this week Make a call to the parents Send someone over The cop said it was abandoned There's no sign of the family But the father was a madman A coward's cover Lights off in In the attic She's sleeping Stone cold dead The place smells like a landfill And the power's been off for weeks They said they found her in the attic Her life is over So you silence your daughter And discard her so aimlessly Theres' no way for you to fight it The charge is murder Lights off in In the attic she's sleeping Lost, found, dead Alone With her frozen eyes That you left for the world to see While a child lies In a criminals Nursery all alone With a silent cry For the rest of her life she screams When the fire dies In a criminals Nursery all alone

This has a growing pain with its progression. SOmething we all have heard or seen, but really fear to examine closely. You bring it forard with a clarity that is frightening. Very well done
