End Violance Against Children

Her name was Sara

She was only five

Her only "fault" was that she was an illegitimate child

And was the reason her parents were "forced" to live together

This is what happened

...When she was alive



Her dad was a drunk

Her mom was an addict

Her parents kept her

Locked in an attic



Her only friend

was a little toy bear

It was old and worn out

And had patches of hair



She always talked to it

When no one was around

She lays there and hugs it

Not a peep of sound



Until her parents

unlock the door

Some more and more pain

She'll have to endure



A bruise on her leg

A scar on her face

Why would she be

In such a horrible place?



But she grabs her bear

And softly cries

She loves her parents

But they want her to die



She sits in the corner

Quiet but thinking,

" God, why? Why is

My life always sinking? "



Such a bad life

For a sad little kid

She'd get beaten and beaten

For anything she did



Then one night

Her mom came home high

The poor child was hit and slapped

As hours went by



Then her mom suddenly

Grabbed for a blade

It was sharp and pointy

One that she made



She thrusted the blade

Right in her chest,

" You deserve to die

You worthless pest! "



The mom walked out

Leaving the girl slowly dying

She grabbed her bear

And again started crying



Police showed up

At the small little house

They quickly barged in

Everything was as quiet as a mouse



One officer slowly

Opened a door

To find the sad little girl

Lying on the floor



It must have been bad

To go through so much harm

But at least she died

With her best friend in her arms

And so, instead of dying everyday she died once and for all!


INDEED IT IS HIGH TIME WE STOP THIS INHUMANE ACTIVITY!
