Social Comment - Who Will Stand For The Children? Poem by Paul Warren
Social Comment - Who Will Stand For The Children?
In judgement’s call a parchment list revealed
Of deeds indefensible and innocence congealed
A baby left all alone in an oppressive heat
The mother’s denial was for herself to secrete
A 12 year old daughter too scared to be alone
With a step-father to force his desire so prone
An angel with a sad smile in neglect so complete
That she died in hospital from injuries not discrete
Then who will stand for the children?
A father stands so violent his wife cowers away
His son’s arm he twists and breaks in his affray
A boy who is beaten with a straight edge pole
His mother’s boyfriend touts his enforcer role
A girl and brother who are kept in filth so vile
When you enter their house it raises your bile
In quiet times these memories return to you
A shake of head makes you wonder who knew
Then who will stand for the children?

A touching sad story of children left alone, why such persons give birth to children?
A 12 year old daughter too scared to be alone With a step-father to force his desire so prone sad such things happen but then guys write books and earn teach those baaaass to use condoms if they enter small kids at random sad their minds are at tandem as women want them in theirs often
So fortunate you found this baby. Laws have finally awoken to child abuse and violence to women. I hope there will be an end.
A nice poem ;sad to say that just about describes this era.values are fast disappearing from the face of the earth.Thanks

A tale of domestic violence, child abuse and neglect well depicted in the poem. A lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned with beautiful rhyme scheme. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
