Child Abuse Is A Crime Poem by Christina Sunrise

Now you might say,

“What causes crime? ”

I know it’s not treating

a kid to be kind.

It’s abusing them

with a whip,

or hitting them with a stick.

Now, why do we put adults

in jail for the above,

but we justify it’s

not a crime

because our parents

did this to us with love?

I don’t think so,

there is no, no, no

Excuse for Abuse.

Get some help before

you have a kid,

keep this planet

a better place if only you did.
