Doreen Ambrose Poet I do not know?

Girl X

Didn't get to build her castle in the sand

Her innocence was taken by a sick man

Who preyed upon her as she descended

The stairway,

Her life hasn't been anywhere near the same 

since that horrid day,

He lured her into his apartment and

Violated her to no end 

And then...

He carried her body back into the stairwell...

And he stayed in that torturous den

Of an apartment with his girlfriend and played 

Pretend...

While this baby lie in a stairwell

Covered in graffitti and roach spray,

And unconscious and couldn't say,

Who did that to her...

We can't take yesterday back

But we can make up for the slack

With tomorrow...

Parents, please let Girl X's story

Be not in vain and just sorrow...

For every young child you see

Walking alone and not accompanied

Stop and speak to them and get 

Their full name and tell them to 

Hurry to their destination,

You could be saving a life

All it takes is just a small amount

Of determination...
