Anger swells inside at the sight of children being abused.
Parents that shouldn’t be parents, acting ignorant and bemused.
My heart goes out to those children in pain.
Hopefully, they’ll be healthy and happy again.
New homes for them with their parents in jail.
Parents in prison with chains and no bail!
Happy, bright children being kids once more.
Throw away that jail key and lock up that door!!
