Speechless

Speechless, as he stares at the wall, Doesn't say nothing, to no one at all, Others poke him, and call him names, But he says nothing, during their games, They tease and they laugh, and they taunt, Teachers speak to him, but get no response, When he gets home, the same happens there, It's hard to believe, that even his parents don't care, Then at night, he lays there in fear, And he cries and he cries, until he has no more tears, His parents have drunken, themselves half to death, Oh lord what does this, child have left.
