A child died today.
It the worst way.
At the hands of his parent.

No more birthdays.
No more smiles.
No more days to play.
Cause a child died today.

What makes a fool act this way?
Just **** an innocent child.
Once they use illogical thoughts to explain.

We instantly complain an adult should have died instead.

But instead, it's a child that died today.

Why?
My man left me.
My wife left me.
Satan ordered me.
But we barely hear that version.

We hear Jesus told me.
And we know that's not true.
That command would never dictate as a rule.

Well, maybe.
But only to a fool.
We know the defense will be claimed around mental illness.
And hear various family member claim they been seeking help.

But all we remember in our minds.
A child died today.
