simple-minded
and a clown,
more childish
then mature

always joking
instead of talking
seriously,
hiding behind smiles

kissing and hugging
to replace
the constant
rage and violence
that is buried deep
within him

no one feels his pain
they are buried in his
heart
cherishing the love
that he has shared

he never whines
or complains
in the open
or in secret
but he can't hide
from God

he has no faith
but pretends he does
but God knows
the pain and hate
in this child

he may feel no
one will ever understand him
but if he had faith
he wouldn't have a doubt
that God is truly
with him and he
understands.

Sounds like you're the one person, then, who may truly reach him...?

Take care,
