Clumsy child,
Why so sad?
Did you make mom and dad mad?
Clumsy child,
What's up?
Did you spill over your sipping cup?
Clumsy child,
Get up,
Or was that beating enough?
Clumsy child,
Where are you now?
Another victim 6 feet down.
This is based on child abuse and how the signs are missed too often and social services aren't contacted soon enough. It's short to highlight that it can be over swiftly. Clumsy child implies the emotional strain and verbal abuse the victim endures with a dark innocence.
