If only they knew

A child's death

 

-If only they knew,

The chances too few,

A heart so weak,

The blood would leak,

 

the vessels broke,

A dozen bruises,

So the story wrote,

They All gave excuses.

 

A slap here,

And a shove,

So much to fear,

Such little from love,

 

In and out,

A life of rule,

A child about

A life so cruel.

 

To late to save,

This poor pitied soul,

A sour cry gave,

As he was lowered into a hole,

 

Mourn we shall,

With our minds on the child,

A desperate wail,

In his darkest hour
