punishing innocence

you hold that small life in you arms

you feel it's heart beat with yours

you see yourself and someone else

that love you have is strong

but why with some

they feel the rage

and can't see that precious light

they raise their fists against innocence

i don't understand how it's right

they had the love

they lost it

the heart beats are the same

they lost that maternal love

their thoughts only insane

so who will help

what will change

for sure that heart beat will never be the same


- it's a poem i wrote after finding my cousin had her children taken away for abuse, she's got a pretty messed up life and no one in my family ever called for help they all simply watched saying "i love you and i want to help" it was the hospital that called because her son not even one came in with a broken leg(oh and he had another visit earlier that week with a split lip)-
