It's a beautiful write, and behind it lies a very sad fact ...
I really can't stand how a mature adult can be so guiltless and violent towards a child
And what about those 'pedophiles' - how can they get satisfaction from the little body, innocent-faced of a child???
Truly, I find it inhuman, not to say beast
And it's even more heart-rending to know what's become of the child's world, the innocence lost, the daily beating, awful words echoing in his/her mind ..
and what about those sexually abused girls - Maybe a dream broken, self-respect lost ..
They all fall into a dark alley, where they are afraid to rise their eyes, and sometimes they are too used to this world that they fear the light, because they're surrounded by hatred
It's a very good and true topic you've written about
Recently I've made a campaign on street harassment, and we're looking forward to stop child abuse as well
Nice job!

Very poweful! This should be a child abuse advertisement! Great job! :)

There is a movie out on this subject, a documentary entitled "Very Young Girls" I could not bring myself to watch it. As the father of a daughter I would just get enraged and drive my blood pressure up. But I applaud your attempts to bring scum like child molesters and pedophile perverts into the light. Well done.

Education is important, but let's not forget action as well. I once was involved with a child abuse case (back when I worked in a school district in Texas). I tried to get the authorities to help the girl. After investigating it, they said they found nothing that could be used against the father. Once he realized that he was being watched, he loaded up the family and moved elsewhere. No one knows where they went. I can only hope that she got out and has moved on. Anyway, good write. I have a couple of pieces you might be interested in dealing with this horrid topic as well. One is "The Whip" and the other is "Jackyln". I hope you check them out. If not, just keep on preaching the word. No child should have to go through this horror (physical, sexual, or mental). Kudos.

It was like the room went very still when I read this poem. It's not only filled with your voice and thoughts its filled with desperate pleas of many innocent children. I felt like crying. Sometimes I don't think I realise how lucky I am to have a family that loves me.

The final line, "Eternal Struggling" gave me shivers...yes, the suffering is eternal. :(

Thank you for sharing this piece.
