HOW SAD

HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD HURTING,
TO KNOW THEY ARE IN PAIN...
HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD CRYING,
TEARS POURING DOWN LIKE FALLING RAIN...
HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD ALONE,
TO KNOW ALL THEY WANT IS A LOVING HOME...
HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD ABUSED,
TO BE WITHOUT LOVE, TO BE BEATEN, AND BRUISED...
HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD IN FEAR,
TO BE MADE TO FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD DISAPPEAR...
HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD AFRAID,
TO TELL THEM YOU'LL SELL THEM OR MAYBE JUST TRADE...
HOW SAD TO SEE A CHILD SHAKE,
AWAITING PUNISHMENT FOR AN INNOCENT MISTAKE...
HOW SAD TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE EXIST,
THAT WOULD ACTUALLY PUT A CHILD THROUGH THIS...
