Something to Cry About

Something
To
Cry
About
Pictures of Innocence, Raped Polluted
By another man's pain
Thin broken lips, not able to speak
Only softly ask,"Why?"
Big eyes blackened, not having yet seen
Visions of the parent's rage, RAGE"
Fear fills a young child's heart
Memories of love lost in the dark
Tears cloud his eyes
Bruises he tries to hide
Don't ask no questions
You'll get no answers, WHY?, WHY?, WHY?
He doesn't understand
No he doesn't understand
Pictures of innocence, raped polluted
By another man's pain
Thin broken lips not able to speak
Only softly ask,"Why?"
Big eyes blackened not having yet seen
Memories of love lost in the dark
Tears cloud his eyes
Bruises he tries to hide
Don't ask no questions
You'll get no answers, WHY?, WHY?, WHY?
He doesn't understand
No he doesn't understand
