Caylee’s Gone
Bad things still happen.
the whole world knows it.
The indignant outrageous…
Yet so few people show it.
Children are abused and sold everyday.
From the backyard to the boardroom
From the Internet…
To the hotel room
From the kitchen…
To the bedroom
Lucifer’s children at play.
Wives are made servants little boys held captive…
Dollars are exchanged
Vengeance pitifully exacted…
Psychological profile
Deviant mind
Betty Ford Treatment center
Broken body…
Penitence time.
Our eyes remain open yet we still refuse to see
Megan’s law more lip service
child porn on dvds
We advocate reforms and we wail with our hands.
Walk right on by…
Time is premium
in demand.
Yet let it creep closer
Closer…closer.
Reach out. Grabbed you!
The squeaks of the rusty wheel the cliché come true
Let someone else suffer
It’s all in Gods hands… neglect the safety of children
Condone evil
Amen.
I have my own problems, why should I care… like those shoes that you’re wearing!
Girl who does your hair?
Little Jenny was molested…
I hadn’t a clue
He said that he loved me
Government invasion
Tell the truth!
I‘ve got this new kid he’s barely been used…
Just give me the money.
I’ll give him to you.
The past and the future all merged into now
Slavery’s been abolished
Someone tell the kids how?
Oh yes we can hear them oh no not again
If you don’t get involved…
It’s just a question of when….
The sickness will touch you it won’t be held down.
The look on your face that dark sorrowful frown…
Mommy that doesn’t feel good..
Daddy make it go away
Farewell little Caylee
Judgements coming one day…
