The child was given a fruit <br />But the child did not eat <br />The child was given a shelter <br />But the child did not sleep <br />The child was given love <br />But the child did not take <br />The child was shown a path <br />But the child did not go <br />The child was promised a future <br />But the child did not believe <br /> <br />The fruit could be poisoned <br />The shelter could be a tomb <br />The sleep could be a nightmare <br />The love could be abused <br />The path could be an abyss <br />And the future smelled of the past <br />The child had no trust <br /> <br />Can anyone make the child believe<br /><br />Miroslava Odalovic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-child-had-no-trust/
