Rest now
broken baby
your message has been delivered

Did they hear it?
deaf and blind to your cries
and that of those before you

Sleep now
folded angel
do not fret over the ignorant

They will lament your beauty
never admiting it wilted
in their care

Quiet now
defeated warrior
the time is come for others
to rage on your behalf
The world is cruel to its most innocent

This is a really beautiful and sad poem. It's so horrible to think there are people out there who abuse their kids. I like how, although the tone here was sad, it was optimistic as well. I hope, too, that those who do cruel things can someday be punished for what they did. :C
