******* found dead the papers said Wounds to the genitals breast and head Cast aside in a corner dark Of the municipal park Like some ******* in a bag Just some *****? Some little ****?
Or a teenage girl all alone Who’d a baby daughter of her own Who was big sis to her little brother A much loved child of a single mother Used, abused then thrown aside In terror and loneliness when she died
If we don’t look behind headline Move on quickly, we’ll be fine Otherwise we may feel grief Or, god forbid, change a fixed belief She was just some ***** who got hers But, perhaps a mention in our prayers?
We may feel brief pity, heave a sigh There, but for the grace of God, go I Then turn the page, find the sport **** happens when you’re born that sort It’s just society nothing more And, after all, she was just a *****
(Wasn't she?)
So many of life's tragedies played out every day, Catch our attention briefly then simply slip away.
