Tears In A Child's Eyes (Poem)

Cruelty,

Why do you claim yet another victim?

She once had innocent eyes

Alive with hope and curiosity.

Yet you felt the need,

To steal those eyes away.

Subjecting her to hate,

And the darkest evils of man.

You filled her heart with fear,

Instead of the tender love she deserved

And you watched with glee

As your twisted love

Took it's toll.

Cruelty,

You have such a calloused heart

Why must you relish

In the tears of a child.

What is it about those

Raindrops from heaven

That nourishes you so well.

Are you so far from God,

That you have to steal Heaven

From this child?

Cruelty

You've claimed another victim,

But I swear this will be your last

For I vow

To make your acts known

Once

And For all.
