To Serve And Neglect

Abandoned by the useless system, why?
Tortured screams go unheard
Released into the hands of someone who
Abused her to the point of death

Floor mopped with her head
Bashed against a wall til she was dead
Violated with tooth and hair brush
Genitals burned

Blind to the bruises
Deaf to the screams
The system has failed
To the greatest extreme

Cracked addicted mother
Thought she had a rag doll
Treated her 7 year old
Like she was a football

A system made to serve and protect
Has served no purpose but to neglect
It was they who committed the crime
How much longer til another child dies?
