Where Are Your Children?

Daughter, sits in the living room alone
till her father comes home.
Daughter, runs to her room as she tries to find a way to hide away.
Father, comes home with drops of deadly poison dripping from his lip
as he was carrying an empty bottle.
Father, strikes her down as she is bound and hits her over the head
till she is dead.
Father and mother come home from work;
They come home to a note left by daughter.
Mother reads the note as father says " what's going on?"
Mother cries as she yells " our baby girl is gone!".
Mom, don't know father was using and sexually abusing daughter while mother was working nights.
Where are your children?,
Where can they be?,
As far as I can see they running away and never coming back.
Son, watches mother pop pills and take in white powder
As she is going farther out of her mind.
Son, is tired of seeing his mother bringing men home
every night and every hour,
Hearing tasteless moans then hearing glasses breaking.
Mother, over doses as she is dying on the couch
While son takes a gun and pulls the trigger.
Daughter, is being beat on by mother.
Daughter, has no father and her older brother doesn't care.
Older brother, sneaks into daughter's room late at night touching her
making her cry while saying " ouch!".
Daughter, kills older brother as she leaves her mother a note
Saying she's never ever coming back.
Where are your children?,
Where can they be?,
As far as I can see they running away and never coming back.
Little boy, wants a daddy because his mommy works nights
on the streets selling her body hard.
Little boy is tired of being locked in the closet as mommy
plays hot ticks to getting men into bed.
Little boy, runs away from home and is never found again.
Where are your children?,
Where can they be?,
As far as I can see they running away and never coming back.
Little girl, is taken away on a moving truck that's heading it's way
to the hot streets.
Little girl, lost her world when her uncle makes her work
till 3 am.
Little girl, is arrested when she's only nine years old.
Save these children from the despair,
Save these children from being mentally impaired.
Make these children no longer feeling numb,
Help these children survive,
Make these children not want to die.
Why?, why?, oh god why?
Do we let these children's childhoods die?.
Where are your children?,
Where can they be?,
As far as I can see they running away and never coming back.
