A poem I should not have to write

It is a poem nobody wants to right,
About what will never be right,
About those who think they have the right,
To take from a child all that is bright,
And make the sun disappear from sight.

When something is so wrong,
Where do those who do this wrong belong,
And for how long.

It is beyond my understanding,
As my parents were never that wrong,
And the sun in my childhood was never out of sight for long.

Yet we must write about this wrong,
Put it in a song,
For to reach even one, before they do this wrong,
Will encourage a better song,
About one less wrong.
That moved us further towards the light,
And a future more bright.
