Suffer the innocent

Who do no wrong

They close their eyes

And they never belong





Suffer the children

In a harsh world they grow

Danger within their playground

It is all they ever know





Suffer the woman

Living only in ****

Where would she go

How would she escape





Suffer the man

Judged by the colour of his skin

Cursed for being different

Why is that a sin





Suffer the poet

Having the words to say

Sadness to write then down

Innocent in no other way
