Helpless Babies

by Sylvia   Dec 19, 2008


Helpless little babies maligned,
suffering at the hands of another, again.
Hands that are meant to be loving and kind,
inflicting unbearable pain.

They have no voice, they cannot speak to tell,
of the abuse you inflict upon them anew.
How dare you do such awful things, I yell,
to one who cannot defend against you?

Does it make you feel like a real man who,
punches and hits, abuses them?
Cruel, viscous coward is the name I have for you,
my wish is that you rot in hell, condemned.

(In the past few months, there have been numerous cases of defenseless infants being abused by their parents, boyfriends of the mother, other family members or friends. These poor infants died at the hands of others, never given a chance to live. The reason that I wrote this poem is to bring attention to this awful injustice. Abuse of any kind is atrocious but to inflict this plague upon tiny babies is beyond the imagination.)

    Yes, babies are molested every second in this world.
    Some time ago it was on the news that a group of perverted people in France "shared"their babies...they offered them to friends for sex..this made me throw up all my food when I heared it:(
    Sexual abuse and also violence against children and woman is a much bigger problem than people know..it is kept indoors and hidden for the biggest part..and as long as it is it will not be wiped out.
    It is not about sex, but about dominance and that is why most perpetrators are men.

    This made me cry. i've seen abuse like this happen right in front of me. it's crazy how now-a-days discipline means giving your child a black eye and broken lip. it's just plain sad. people who dare hurt children are just pathetic. they don't deserve to live, and i truly mean that.
    anyways, this was a beautiful write; sad but true.

    take care,
    Liz
