My hart het gebreek toe ek dit lees. Ek hoop dat hierdie gediggie dieselfde uitwerking op julle het as op my. Kinders behoort liefgehê te word, nie vermors te word nie.
Neem in ag dat die gedig baseer is op ware gebeurtenis. Die dogtertjie was 5 jaar oud en haar naam was Aurora.
She was only 5
Her dad was a drunk
Her mom was an addict
Her parents kept her
Locked in an attic
Her only friend
Was a little toy bear
It was old and worn out
And had patches of hair
She always talked to it
When no one's around
She lays there and hugs it
Not a peep of sound
Until her parents
Unlock the door
Some more and more pain
She'll have to endure
A bruise on her leg
A scar on her face
Why would she be
In such a horrible place?
But she grabs her bear
And softly cries
She loves her parents
But they want her to die
She sits in the corner
Quiet but thinking,
"Please God, why is
My life always sinking? "
Such a bad life
For a sad little kid
She'd get beaten and beaten
For anything she did
Then one night
Her mom came home high
And the poor child was beaten
As hours went by
Then her mom suddenly
Grabbed for a blade
It was sharp and pointy
One that she made
She thrust the blade
Right in her chest,
"You deserve to die
You worthless piece of stuff!
The mom walked out
Leaving the girl slowly dieing
She grabbed her bear
And again started crying
Police showed up
At the small little house
Then quickly barged in
Everything quiet as a mouse
One officer slowly
Opened a door
To find the little girl
Lying dead on the floor
It must have been bad
To go through so much harm
But at least she died
With her best friend in her arms
Meer as een kind gaan daagliks dood weens kinder mishandeling. As jy 'n tikkie meegevoel met Aurora wil deel, gaan uit en maak 'n verskil. Laat kinders verstaan dat jy hulle lief het - as niemand anders het nie. Kinders is onskuldig en al wat hulle het om te bied is liefde.
