Katy C Poet I do not know?

With the Push of Three Buttons

Alone in the house,
The girl cries.
With blood on her cheek
And bruises on her arms, 
She has no help.
Arriving home from school
Five minutes late,
She was greeted
By her alcoholic parents.
After yelling at
And hitting their daughter repeatedly,
Her parents finally left
To go party with friends
At the local bar.
But I watch her from the window,
Scenes of terror
Running through my head
And scaring me speechless.
I can not move,
Even though I know
That if I can reach the phone in time,
I can save this little girl's life,
With the push of three buttons.
9. 1. 1.
