ControlledSilence

Emotion filled pleas fall on deaf ears A world that has turned their backs Salty, hot tears drip down bruised cheeks A society that has become blind Dysfunctional families try to piece themselves together A puzzle that has been mixed up and lost after time Mummified bodies of young children hidden in chests A silent place within a neighborhood where no one cares A toddler who will eat herself after time, a crib becomes a cage Unknown to the outside world, will never see the light of day Strapped to the plastic potty chair in the darkness, roaches crawl over her skin A death that will not be prevented, a murder that will go unnotice
