The Boy

The Boy

Alone this young boy sits near the deck
Just another abused child
With his bruises branded around his neck
But the school nurse says, "Oh, it's just mild,"

Nobody hears this child crying out
He believes he's the one to blame
With every scream and shout
His father puts him to shame,

Everyone gathers around their house
The violence shakes the walls
We all witness the crime... even the mouse
Soon, both worlds suddenly fall,

And tomorrow will bring them another day
Another day to spend time away.
