Who Is That Child

Who is that child with his eyes to the floor.?

Who is that child that shakes when there's a bang 
On the door.?

Who is that child with broken shoes on his feet?

Who is that child that searches for something to eat?

Who is that child with eyes that are black?

Who is that child with welts on his back?

Where is that child who is not here today?

That  child is now gone and the pains gone away....
