ME

I woke up late last night to a celebrity talk show.  I won't  mention the person's name.  There was a mother of an "adopted" child on the show who brought video proof, who admitted freely that she was abusive to her "adoptive" child, who everyone there reviled and could not find any excuse for this horrific abuse.

Who by the end of the show was going to get the help she called the show for, who walked off that stage, out those doors, back home to a child, who if he ever had any hope did not anymore.

I don't know about the host, but as for me I wondered how many laws in childrens names do we need, before people see, are we now going to need one dealing with talk shows and celebrities.  How many watched this show, including me, who should have picked up the phone and called the police.  How many are sworn by the laws they uphold, turned their backs on this child and his need.  How can they close their eyes at night without seeing the battered faces of children in their dreams.

This is for those children, the ones who for a brief moment might have believed if it was shown on t.v. maybe there could still be hope for...

ME

I DON'T

  BELIEVE

IN

FAIRY TALES

FOR YOU

SEE

I

LIVE IN

THE REALITY

THAT THERE

IS NO

KNIGHT IN SHINING

ARMOUR

WHO WILL

RESCUE

ME

AS THE

FAIRY TALES

WOULD

HAVE ME

BELIEVE!

THE ONLY

ONE

I

CAN COUNT

ON

FOR

RESCUE

IS

ME

I

WATCHED YOUR

SHOW

WITH JUST

A GLIMMER

OF HOPE

AFRAID

TO

LET GO

 AFRAID

TO

BELIEVE

ONLY TO

HAVE

THIS LAST

GLIMMER

OF HOPE

CRUSHED

BENEATH YOUR

FEET

YOUR SHOW

MAY HAVE BEEN

ABOUT A

DIFFERENT PARENT,

A DIFFERNT

CHILD

BUT WHEN

THIS

ABUSER

WALKED OFF

YOUR STAGE

FREE....

WHAT YOU

DID

NOT SEE

WAS

ME
