We weep for the lost children Aged harshly by violence Skin mutilated with red marks Soul scarred with broken hearts Bruises and verbal abuses But as they grow older Bitter, angry, and colder Our empathy disappears And those who need love Adults who need compassion And patience Are lost in a sea of apathy Cause it is easier to care For a cute kid Then it is to help A traumatized adult

Traumatized Adult
We weep for the lost children Aged harshly by violence Skin mutilated with red marks Soul scarred with broken hearts Bruises and verbal abuses But as they grow older Bitter, angry, and colder Our empathy disappears And those who need love Adults who need compassion And patience Are lost in a sea of apathy Cause it is easier to care For a cute kid Then it is to help A traumatized adult
