We see the pain in their eyes
And do nothing.
We hear the cry for help in their voice
And we pretend to be deaf.
We see the bruises on their body
And we pretend to be blind.
Help is just a call away
And we pretend to be mute.

Welcome to passions, Greentwin! And thank you for writing on a subject I, myself, feel strongly about. It's amazing how we tend to ignore the ugly and unwanted things in our culture, isn't it! Great work, here.

While i myself can't relate too well to this... i have listened to a good frined of mine on the subject, and 1 person is 1 too many i think.  An ugly side of society indeed... very well written piece though.  In the few lines i felt so much emotion and anguish that it nearly brought tears to my eyes, very nice work. welcome to Passions.

This is the sad truth. I fustrate myself for not doing anything. But that will change. Not right away, but it will.
Happy future posting.
