Listen To the Voices

Open your ears, listen with your heart To defenseless voices screaming in the dark Hear the hollow sounds of battered children Crying helplessly in their fright A continuous nightmare of bruised anatomies Scarred memories Lasting for the rest of their lives And broken spirits innocent children must bear Listen closely if you care To countless voices crying in agony Infliction of pain In various increments and range Neglected lives thrown away Deviated acts of molestation Torture running rampant throughout every vein Committed by sick minds of the insane Listen to the lonely voices Defenseless children crying from narrow closets Where darkness mutilate guiltiness souls Open a window in your heart and listen As a society we must shoulder the blame
