Atonement

Help,
a voice bleeds out from
darkness.
A broken
begging 
plea.
Lost
amongst yelling,
anger.
Little boy,
getting lost
getting faded

A call for
help
quick someone...
but the call is:
 unanswered
     unheeded
        unheard.
No one cares,
no one sees,
no one dares,
no one believes.

A hand outstretched
begging
  atonement.
