Little Boy

Little boy
with your blood,
and bruises...
Where do you go?

What do you think?

Does anyone care?


Neglected
you sit in
the corner...
Do you ever eat?
Do you smile?
Do they notice?

Does it hurt

every time

he kicks?

With each punch 

do you shudder

and wince?

I ask you,

but I know

the answer.

I simply ask

cause I wonder

if others do.

Little boy,

so skinny

and small...

What is your name?

What do you think?

Where are you now?
