A broken system
Broken families.. dark days
Traumatic experience.. delayed response
Underfunded services.. no help today
Who do you turn to on these dark days
Lost lives.. quiet cries
Murmurs abound.. silent sounds
No money, no gains
You’re out of options
Times are hard.. in or out of court
Everyone’s trying to survive
You’re not important.. just a number on a list
Pressures are mounting
Details disclosed.. confidence breached
Hushed accusations.. walking on eggshells
Disassociate from the situation
Who can you trust when nobody cares

Dear KW,
Your write depicts such a harsh reality. I fear these observations would be the same the world over. You shed light on such a massive concern. Excellent writing. H🌷
