Pain

No one's listening 
    to the cries
No one's answering
    all the whys
A baby growing up
    in hate
Sex and violence
    Satan's bait
A father looks
    the other way
"Hey, he'll be okay
    someday"
Turn on the TV
    close the door
Turn off minds
    can't deal with more
A mother thinks
    her job is done
Out the door
    to have some fun
She screams at her son's
    violent ways
He walks away 
    in a silent daze
Looked at with
    the eyes of shame
Point the finger
    shake the blame
Cuts like a knife
    with words and looks
Carries a knife
    along with books 
        to school
A father asks what 
    he did wrong
Once again
    the same old song
"Then never mind
    I've got to go"
"I've got no time
    don't even want to know"
His child screams inside with
    pain
He should have known
    always the same
No one's listening 
    to the cries
No one's answering
    all the whys
        except
         Jesus
