Crimes of Innocence

For what crimes Are they being made To suffer?  Tell me!  Tell me!  oh driver to the world Why bring him forth While within you lies the knowledge  Of the crimes he committed not?  Confess to the world  Oh carrier of the unheavy burden,  How huge a crime  Is being innocent.  Please say,  What you know of the crimes Of newness and pureness And innocence and freshness.  Mother they call you.  Nay, Murderer you are!  Why summon he whose presence You despise in wicked essence?  So I ask again!  For what crimes  Are they paying  This heavy price Of abandonment Of Starvation Of denial  Of abuse?  For what crimes  Are they being punished In madness and cruelty  While you decide their fate over tea.  For what crime  Was he dumped in a bag?  Why did you leave her hanging down that rail?  Why did you scar him so bad?  Why drop his form in that sewer?  While he's almost as big as you were When you were brought forth  To this world Where you've grown to be inhumane.  Why oh why! Oh murderous mother!  And you treacherous father!  What crimes do you kill them for? Tell Me!  ©NobleHeart
