With sad wide eyes
A poor child cries
But no one hears
Or calms her fears.
She hides
Behind chairs
Under stairs
But no one cares.
She's innocent
Of any crime
Yet she is guilty
All the time.
Throughout her life
She's been ill used
By angry parents
She's abused.
Her tear stained face
Is not the place
To look upon
With any grace.
Does anybody care??????
