10 Million Voices

A very serious one. Don't take this message lightly.

10 Million Voices,

And 50 Million scratching fingers snapping back,

Whilst evil practices rejoice, black. 

100 Million prayers, escaping silent throats and imprisoned minds and souls.

1 Billion chills down the spine from the cold touch, 

Whilst a child not bold enough to get in touch with someone who can help, and resolve

The evil issue.

10 Billion tissues used to mop up bleeding cuts and tears, 

if only they could absorb fears and stop the violence he or she hears.

15 Billion bruises made, 

and punches thrown to kids who can’t protect themselves, too scared. 

50 Billion pleads are spoken, hoping, that one will pick it up and reply,

Its not smoke that can be ignored, its a person and a voice, and a sigh.

Sending signs. 

20 Billion hours that children spend, 

crying, 

wishing they would die and float to that sky that they see so clearly in their mind when they dream.

30 Billion ripped seams through fabric dreams

And 50 Billion children who wake in the morning, 

keeping their face under the duvet, protecting them from child cruelty.

One solution, listen.
