The List
The heart cries.No one hears it.
The soul dies.
No one sees it.
A child's body is found.
Battered
Bruised
And torn.
Slipped through the cracks.
Everybody mourns.
Little Lisa's name
Has been crossed off the list.
When she was murdered the world was shocked.
When she was buried the world forgot.
Another abused child lays silent and scared.
Afraid mommy or daddy will soon be home.
Another child. Another name.
And the list grows.
Little Lisa's gone.
But her suffering lives on.
