It’s adults raping friends’ teenage girls
And fathers too coward to do anything but blame their own
It’s parents too negligent to notice learning disabilities
And leave their children to fumble through the same grade three times
It’s brothers molesting little sisters
And making their tongues captive to false shame
It’s drunken mothers beating gentle-spirited daughters
And leaving them at home, alone with an unwanted guest called pain
It’s minds filled with Truth that set up roadblocks
And keep Him from reaching their hearts
It’s ten year old boys raping six year old girls
And many mocking letters sent to eyes that long for restored innocence
It’s parents’ rage that punish with hot irons
And shackle their children with heavy chains of fear
It’s mothers always high on alcohol and drugs
And negligent of their daughters who in turn question every ounce of their worth
It’s angry attitudes eager to gossip and fight
And unwilling to lend an ear to a fellow aching heart
F! Depravity
