Silence Causes Violence

                                        

A Poem By Dean Thomas

 

                       Silence causes violence

 

An innocent child laid twisted against the curb, another innocent victim whos voice wasn't heard, her soul in heaven body in the street, mother was an alcoholic father was a thief, nobody sensed the neglect not even the police, people always talked but never offered her any help, the scars were so clear with every blow her parents dealt, sent to school beaten but never broken,  Clothes were torn skin dirty her personality deplete, it wasn't safe to be at home that's why she walked the streets, in the day your just a face at night you become prey, in the bleak back alleys was where she would lay, every morning was a blessing to awake with no abuse, public look and stare whilst not knowing the inner truth, here we had a girl with a beautiful complexion and a mind full of scars, when all she really wanted was a helping hand to change paths, the inner system let her down our society is corrupt, her body was bagged tagged and buried nobody gave a f**k!, what is the price of a young life when it hasn't even lived?, instead of honouring the elderly we are burying kids, rise up and take charge protect our youth from violence, the worst thing we can do is just to remain silent, a mention in the local paper was all the respect this girl got, headlines stating another adolescent has been shot, the graphic description of the tragedy forced me to stop reading, I never even knew her and already I’m grieving, I had to write this down  juts to get it off my chest, kelcie aged 14 may you finally be at rest. x

Hello mate, this piece is not the only story of a child being robbed of their life, which is one of the worst crimes in my mind. I believe that the only way to protect people, especially children, is by outspeaking against abuse and bullying. I made a decision to do everything I can do expose both the mysteries and truth of this very world, but I see that I am not alone.

Please, keep writing like this and let the truth get out there. I wish to call you brethern one day. Remember, never stop writing and never give up.

Great piece of work here, writing with a cause.
