The Ranting Post

It’s a rant
A post that’s down
Well this post might seem a bit down
But it’s the truth
Recent cases of child abuse
The result for the abuser
The end result for the abused
The never ending result for us
Same old, same old
Like me, like us, like them

You could write a poem about it
We have
You could write a book about it
We have
You could make a film about it
We have
They could do something about it...
We wait

Harsh?
Harsh is the affliction of it
Harsh is the injustice of it
Harsh is that no one deserves it
Yet it happens everyday
Harsh is to always endure
Harsh is to be told we are Harsh
Because we see no end
And we tell it so
Have we all the answers? No
But who listens to the ones we have?
Have they all the answers? No
Did we ever think they did?
How long have they been at it?
How long till there’s a change?
Sorry for the chain of questions
It’s because of the chain of events,
The lack of a difference
And who suffers when they fail?
They should know…
It’s what makes us who we are
To tell the tale
If only they would listen
