Innocence, of a child so fair
ripped and torn, from a mother who did not care.
Screaming, thrown and left alone he cries.
As the mother turns a deaf ear, and leaves him to die.
The abuse he's endured may seem too much to some.
But to her, he has gotten what he deserves
and she has won.
Author notes
To those who have indured abuse, I salute you, bearers of broken homes, you are the true heros.

Powerful write, especially the ending. It invokes thoughts of a baby born alive after an abortion (which does happen, see http://www.clinicquotes.com/aliveindex.htm ) Or a child abandoned at birth. Well done, and thanks for submitting this and letting me read it.
