The figure looming nearer
Means a beating she will get.
How can her little memory
Obliterate and forget.
Its been the same whenever Ma
Has gone out for a bit
It seems as if her new step-pa
Just loves to see her hit.
He`s oh so very clever
And never leaves a mark
So she can only sob and cry
All lonely in the dark.

True unfortunitly for many innocent one. What makes me loose respect for humankind! And a mother who allows it is even more a monster.You've nailed the beast of mankind with this.And he ain't pretty.

what a sad insight into the reality of many
children's lives. It is not always the step
parent, though it hardly matters who inflicts
the pain. Our world holds such pain for so many
and you caught the most innocent victim.
wonderful job on a sad truth.
