I am a voice from the past
I am a voice from the past
Abandoned, rejected - an outcast
A child of twelve and all alone
Abused and treated like a criminal
Shamed and silenced by those I trusted
I die alone, depressed and deserted.
I am a voice from the past
Abandoned, rejected - an outcast
A child of five abused by brothers
No one to hear my cries
Alone and scared. My life a mess
Drugs and alcohol to deal with stress.
I am a voice from the past
Abandoned, rejected - an outcast
Abused as child, again as wife
No compassion from you I found
Abusers you keep within your walls
But you never hear the victims' calls.
I am a voice for the future
For all those you called sinner
Here we declare for all to hear
We were not to blame. You were!
"Care for the innocents" God says
SO DO IT - start caring today
Lee Marsh 2002
To all those going on the march;
Speak out your truth, Be bold, and strong. Speak for yourselves and others too. Hold your heads high, Be proud of who you are and what you did to survive. Take back all that abuse and the WTS took from you
- your pride
- your self-respect
- your dignity
- your safety
- your honor
- your voice
I will be with you in spirit all day long
Thank you outnfree for taking my lambs and reading my poem
