THE ISSUE OF CHILD-ABUSE : has become a terrible epidemic at a rate that has me gasping for breath. When I look into the eyes of a child ,I see innocence ,I see love ,I see joy ,I see curiosity and I see trust. Who then can be so in-human as to destroy the lights of purity dancing in the eyes of these little angels and instead, give them pain , raw and un-diluted ,quenched hopes and highly betrayed trust. What kind of a depraved society are we living in? This indeed is a tragedy and travesty against innocence, against trust and against ..... Love....... Against everything humanity.
My tear-drops meet with theirs in 'And we weep tear-drops', a poetic piece dedicated to all victims of child abuse world-wide.
A child-hood it is
But no alien to pain
To breathe alone hurts
They eat pain
And die pain-ed
Can you see tear-drops
Flowing ever so freely?
Can you see the angels hurting ?
Do you see healing
For the bloodied and bruised?
For the scarred and marred?
Listen to their screams
And you will be broken
And we weep tear-drops
Maybe enough to cleanse
A world gone berserk
They are voice-less
Against utter depravity
Robbed of life
Of hope
Of a future
They are sworn into secrecy
And live with fragmented hearts
This is a glimpse of hell
A place of despair
And we weep tear-drops
For the several times
They died inside
For the many times
They drowned in pain
And for the night-falls
That became night-mares
Oh For the sacrilege
And tortured memories
We weep tear-drops
Innocence rain tear-drops
For innocence snatched
And innocence trampled
Hear the cries
Listen to the pain
Watch tear-drops scamper
In hurried respite
Can you feel their numb-ness?
Their continuous spiral of pain?
Can you see their tear-drops
Quieten the cloudy storms?
If this were enough
We would weep tear-drops
And bring the heavens down
For a swim
My tears mingle
With their drops
And we weep tear-drops
Many many tear-drops
Which perhaps may become
A haven for revered child-hood
THANK YOU ALL FOR STOPPING BY MY NEIGHBOURHOOD 💙💓💜💛💚💙💜
Incidents of child abuse are becoming rampant.. Children will always be children and prone to misbehaving. Millions of people are waiting on God for this precious gift that money can't buy...Yet some ungrateful people are maltreating them anyhow

I am so heartbroken. How did it get so bad? Why has the society become so conscience-less. It is really so heart-breaking

It is indeed. Child Abuse is so real and most times the person handing out abuse is a close relative. It's really terrible. Thank you for stopping by.

Very moving. Terry did a great job putting this together. I am just starting to research how to get involved and help in this quest. I love his energy and what he brings to the table. He is epitomizes what Steemit is all about.
This is a tough subject...one that is heartbreaking...nothing a child can do to prevent...all they did was be born.
Innocence lost far too young....

It's so pathetic. Most often, people who are supposed to be their 'protege' are the ones who dish out abuses to them
Yes sir, you can be involved too because you too, are an epitome of what steemit should be all about. I would be so glad.
Seeing you on my blog is a rare privilege, I am highly elated. Thank you so very much sir. Together we can make a difference.
