Fight
In the night
Out of sight
Children forced to fight
Out of spite
Brought to light
Feel their plight
Ignore the site
With all their might
Clutching their tiny bodies tight
Is this right?
Their obvious plight
Still ignored despite
Seen like some parasite
Never learning to read or write
Not to bright
Just a slight
Find delight
Get a knight
Made to act polite
Sit upright
To feed some else's appetite
Makes the media ignite
Rest get the bite
Forced into plight
Constantly feeling fright
Might end up dead overnight
Nothing being done to fix this blight
Witnesses having to repeatedly recite
Police reports needing a rewrite
Not admitting to oversight
Alibis all watertight
More people incite
Jury decides to expedite
No one's heart is contrite
Instantly able to reunite
Another brawl to excite
The black and white
