I Do Not Understand

He took a shoe,
beat you until you are black and blue,
step on your hand, hurt so bad,
they thought you were bleeding inside,
but he said he loved you, he loves all of
his children, that is what he said... I think
that he don't know what love is!
Taken from your family, living in a strange place,
alot of little children around the same age,
same sad looks upon their face....
He tried to get them back, he could not at first,
" I am too young to be a mother", that is what
I heard....Should had kept her legs closed,
then I could had been in another family, 
but it happened the way it was planned...I do not
understand!
