ONLY A "CHILD"

Only a “child”

The moon so high in the sky,
Holding secrets the courts still deny,
They know you are “only” a child,
Yet hold firm the sentences, while the world sighs.

No compassion, mercy is ever held,
While weeping alone in their private cells.

Mistakes made as a “child”,
While the courts still in denial
Charged as adult, no chance of parole
Holding this young life, with it forever on hold.

They dream of better tomorrows,
Only left in such desolate sorrows.
You can help change this destruction,
With education and a little instruction.

The next child could really be yours,
What will you do?, when you finally get the “score”?

Now is the time to speak out, & have no doubt,
Your voice is needed, for this child’s way out!!
