Child Abuse,

I'm just a child?
My daddy went wild!
I got a smack!
It even went whack!
There goes my tooth!
My life never runs smooth....
Daddy takes his belt
I can't explain how it felt!
His fists are the worst!
My ribs he did burst!
Mommy, don't you care?
Oh no! You want your share?
My small body is so sore
I don't think i can take any more...
Fragile and broken
not a word left to be spoken....

Please stop child abuse!
