the name says it all orphan age <br />they are orphans from birth <br />until they reach that age <br />that is how they got the name orphanage. <br /> <br />have you ever thought of the aches and pains <br />that they have gone through. <br />unlike me or you. <br /> <br />'we had parents' whether they were bad or good <br />we could not be misunderstood <br />but these children never had that chance <br />people would look at them and turn their glance. <br /> <br />they were also known as 'children of prey' <br />for the abuse would not go away. <br />they would be behind fences <br />in their ragged torn clothes <br />a disgusting sight to behold. <br /> <br />the urine stench would tickle your nose <br />as they held on the fence <br />in that sorrowful pose. <br /> <br />natted hair, dirty hands and faces. <br />torn shoes with no laces. <br />asking all who passed by <br />if they cared if they 'lived or died'. <br /> <br />people would hide their faces in shame <br />wondering if they could ever be the same. <br />for now these faces haunted them <br />wherever they would go. <br />and the love these kids would never know. <br /> <br />this is not an orphanage, but a house of horror <br />for these children there is no tomorrow. <br />they say the times have changed drastically <br />but that is something i do not see. <br /> <br />let's tear down these places <br />who steal childrens dreams <br />and let them live a life that's clean.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/orphanage-2/
