[bodytext] => Small of stature innocence grace Easily smiles fair of face Until the ugly once more moves in And weaves its web of sin Mother Protector? Looks other way As he has his fill this day Child left to morn loss of life As mother blames her for strife Easier to give over child Then fight his temper wild Weak she is within Self loathing begins In the dark of night a figure small Decides he will protect them all From this demon that came to them As husband and father what a sham He wakes his sister with a kiss And tells her about this plan of his Together they set about a fire Then hide in shack behind spare tire Watching the fires of hell burn bright In contrast to the darkness of night The fireman found them hiding there Thinking they had hidden there just scared But the boy stood strong told the truth Medical exam showed the proof Both the boy and girl had been used Their bodies’ broken souls abused Now what does society do? With such as these two? Should they be locked away? Or counseled to live on another day?
