Abuse

by Ana   Oct 13, 2005


I don't understand how someone can be so cruel
Things like that give me the fuel
To write what I write
to fight how I fight.
How can someone hit an animal helpless and small?
Is that the way they teach babies how to crawl?
By hitting them with a shoe
thinking that'll tell them what to do
Is that the way we're supposed to speak now?
Is that how far our knowledge can reach, wow!
It's really surprising how small some brains get with age
I would love to put him in a cage
So he knows what it feels like to be taught
by inprisoning and being beat on a lot
The only lesson to be learned from that
Is that happiness can only be achieved by death.
Be a dog, an adult or a child
Violence will only make them wild
Unable to think, to love, only to feel pain
of the past that brought down the rain
filled with nightmares and neverending hope
of the end; to make the noose from the rope.
