Let It Be Marked To Death

A child was born on the 
death of her parents,
Killed by a ruthless gang 
treating them like ants.

They were witness to their 
illegal flesh trade,
A contract to silent them to 
the grave was made.

She was cared for by those 
into her case,
And one by one died taking 
over their place.

They had a badge, gun and 
respect to their name,
Until another group will end 
up the same.
