Rusted chains cling to their hearts,
Darkness consumes them --
Children of Darkness?
Or are they Children born in Darkness?--
They cannot hear faith told,
For their ears are bound.
America, America Home of the free
Where the justice bell rings peacfully
Parents tell children of the birds and the bees
Yet there are others who've never heard such a thing
Garbage litters the dusty roads
Only the age of twelve
Was she
When sold into the commerce of
Sex slavery
Misfortune and injustice are
All she’s ever known
Her purity, untimely taken away
Her own body overthrown
She walked in the street, she did not know;
It wasn't safe
The man stole her,
Sold her,
For an unforgivable price.
Now,
She lives in fear,
for her,
her family,

Speak out!
The voice of mutes made by cries that fall on deaf ears.
The sounds of silence ringing on telephones of imagination and hopeful expectation.
Filled with dignity,
Clothed in shame.
Tears and Blood
Shed in the night
She is cold,
And she’s alone.
For why she cries,
So many have died
And she fears the fate
For her own.
He hits her,
When she’s crying.
