This poem is dedicated to Marissa Kennedy, a 10 year old child in Maine, who died of child abuse at the hands of her step-father and mother in 2018. My heavy heart goes out to the vulnerable victims of child abuse who suffer, endure, and unfortunately die when families, schools, society and "the system", set up to protect them, ultimately fails them. Rest in peace, dear Marissa.
