About "Helpless Child"


Written October 13, 1998

This poem is the sequal to "Abused Angel" I wrote this one to address the issue of child abuse. I wanted to put the readers into the mind and eyes of the child, so that they may expierience what it is like to be an abused child. Especially one who is abused by his/her own parents.
I was inspired to write this one after I had visited a cemetary and saw a grave of a child who was killed by his abusive father. He was only 2 years old. It's a very sad thing.
