Abusing Abuse


Oh, you called me a name, should I cry out in pain? You disagree with my views,...is this cause for the blues? You won't give me my way...you've ruined my whole day! Please!! The term 'abuse' has been hijacked it's far over used you scream the word loudly when you're just not amused. You run to the courtroom demanding the judge saves you from a comment that caused you to rave! Meanwhile... There isn't a day that comes or goes that real abuse isn't somewhere exposed. A child is murdered by his own mother's hand One kid shoots another, just as he planned An elderly man is left all alone he dies from from hunger, he's nothing but bone Abuse is no joke, don't use the term lightly There's real horror out there, and it comes nightly....
