Responce Poem To Lost Youth

Response Poem To Lost Youth Young yet dead inside hardened like steel through fire no dreamy eyes love’s first surprise dead with camellias on the grave walk the streets a curse cursing god praying to him from a mouth of hate believing as a last straw connected to the child before bedtime prayers were please hide me from and “him” became damnation.

Abused children run the streets with no safe place to go. Thank you for understanding.

GREAT DEPTHS OF SADNESS. Evil truly exists in this dark world--especially in man's lost soul and decaying mind.

Thank you Niall. I worked with kids like that, abused physically and mentally. They are like fine clocks extremely complex and delicate and always on guard. Fragile handle with care.

Always good to say prayers before bed time. Always good to talk with God.
