the child

Somewere in this wrecthed world,
a little child is sitting.
Keeping his mouth very shut
afraid of what will be done
once the words he utters comes out.

This little child is a brave little being,
having a monster for mom and a father not seeing.
but still this child is the future of ours
let us pray he will not use his mom as an
example in this worlds final hours.

    potential, DEFINITELY.

    hmmm. interesting. i think this brings up an extremely valid point and thought provoking topic, yet i think that there could have been more examples used to bring depth and richness to this piece. for instance:

    Somewere in this wrecthed world,
    a theres a little child sitting.
    Keeping lips tight,
    afraid of the next repercussion
    once the truth of his words come out

    And I wonder where he gets the strength,
    With a mother thrashing and a father
    Locked inside a rather small and inaccurate fantasy
    but still this child is the future of ours
    let us pray he will not use his mom as an
    example in this worlds truth.

    i loovvvveee the meaning of this poem the more and more i look at it, so keep it up. pull out the good ole thesaurus and see what you can make happen.
