 forgotten child
didn't ask to be born
     didn't ask to be taken
 didn't ask to be left
    didn't ask to be shaken
  didn't ask for a punch
               didn't ask for a belt
   didn't ask for a kick
didn't ask for a welt
               didn't ask for alone
   didn't ask for a stare
     didn't ask for a cane
didn't ask for a prayer
             didn't ask for a church
   didn't ask for a cell
     didn't ask for a grope
                   didn't ask for the hell

Joy Weare,
