| The Victims Silent Cage |
| Abuse is darkness ventured into the void of hate Unkind words that pierce the heart or hatreds integrate It lurks in every crevice a sickness very real Angers unfurled measures a pitted violent ordeal Yet who can stop the madness abuse is on the rise Lifes devistation of every race, creed and size We sit alone in shameful hurt battered to angers hand Physically or emoitionally abused victims throughout the land Angers rage is so intense no sense precedes the fury To the measures endless pain abuse becomes the jury Depraved, alone, in silent cries spirits endless plight Beconning to one so lost who can't understand the fight Why don't you leave? Why do you stay? others have said It is the fear that binds you here you could really end up dead So true these words the victim knows jailed from the fear inside That internally, emotionally battered adults and children hide For if one stands angers abuse calls out for help from you Dismayed you ask the victim Whatever did you do? We do not understand abusive violent rage When ignored by society becomes the victims silent cage "Of Doom" |
