A Scream in the Night

Heed the child who

screams in the night

and see that child

who cringes in fright…..

See their bodies

all battered and bruised

this pitiful child

so badly abused…….

Look at their faces

distorted in pain

through the anguish

terrible lone suffering

that’s their parent’s shame…..

Look at the marks

so grisly and grim

on the body of the child

so frail and thin….

Look at the weapons

these parents will use

to batter young children

so badly abused….

They kick in their ribs

and break up their limbs

but no one hears

their terrible SCREAMS…..

Give them no pity

for the deeds that they do

think of that child

all battered and bruised

For what ever the cause

of the child beaters plight

for your gods sake get help

for the poor little mites

don’t be an ostrich

and bury your head

It could be too late

that child could be DEAD
