neglected
the apathy begins at birth
the absolute destruction of one's self worth
when father comes home, the closet
becomes a refuge and the drinking
increases the abuse
this life-style of mindlessness must
end before this madness receives
acceptance
bruised arms and legs fill the bodies
of young children who do nothing but
hide innocently
in attempt to avoid their insanity
stop, stop, stop the abuse
this life-style of mindlessness must
end before this madness becomes
accepted
