The dread eyes are watching me go by,
Round and red just waiting for the next cry,
Be it hunger or welted skin they wait
For another’s cruelty never abate
Although out of tears the tormentor won’t sate
I can’t but stand and watch the sad brown eye
Hoping there is some help in the shadow
As they look longing out the dirty window
But there is no hoped for intervention
No aid for a life lived so shallow
That stirs into me deeply this emotion,
But I stay shackled by convention.

How much is that doggie in the window?
I wish I could buy away your fate.

Gloom

Very touching Gloom. Chris

I love you
With a thousand hearts."

Glad I'm not in those shoes! it's good that my eyes are blue, not brown, or I would think this were directed my way!  You write with such emotion here.  I like what I see happening to the pen.
Have a good evening.
