Societys Child

Society’s Child We’re the children in the shadows, battered, broken and abused! We’re your neighbors, we’re your conscience! We are raped! We are bruised! When we cry out do you hear us? Does it matter what we feel? Does your apathy protect you from our miserable appeals? Preachers, teachers, politicians, doctors, lawyers, rich or poor, all your promises are empty when our suffering is ignored! All your laws and propositions only candy coat the truth of the countless hideous crimes perpetrated on our youth! In a world that’s always changing, child abuse will still remain, if you cannot feel our hopelessness, if you do not feel our pain!

Call it like it is, my friend, and be loud. We still will not hear, for we have selective hearing, and the abuse is such an unpopular subject. I think you deserve a medal so I will give you a silver and gold spaceship, and you can take it wherever you want. It will be in your dreams tonight.
