He was only Four years old <br />but his short life was bad <br />ill treated by his Mother <br />and abused daily by his Step Dad. <br />They tortured him for fun <br />locked him in a Cubbyhole <br />these people were monsters <br />with no morals or soul. <br />They force fed him Salt <br />he went for days without a meal <br />all they wanted to do was hurt him <br />not caring how he must feel. <br />While they drank and had sex <br />poor Daniel was dying in pain <br />but when he asked for some love <br />they beat him again and again. <br />Social workers and teachers <br />must hold their heads in shame <br />but this will happen once more <br />as to Sadists it's all just a game. <br />So rest in peace little Daniel <br />now your away from your terrible plight <br />we never ever really knew you <br />but we all love you so please sleep tight.<br /><br />Kevin Halls<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/r-i-p-little-daniel/
