This poem was written by a student after viewing David's presentation. This young poet is incredibly gifted.
The Silent Victims
They stand weak, if they have enough strength to stand
And from their hiding place they cry in silence
Too afraid to speak out or show their pain
Their little minds, hearts, hands and shoulders all grow tense
They pray for forgiveness
Not knowing what they’ve done
Hoping to be delivered from the bad in their lives
Wanting to be saved from this hell, before they’re gone
A poison that fills up their lungs
Leaving them for dead
Their final cure, they hope
That this is the very end
But wake and open your eyes small one
You have not done a thing
The fault of this is not your own
Dry your tears and stop your crying
Be strong and live!
Stop praying for forgiveness
You have not come to sin
But are innocent and faultless
Breathe in hope and see that faith
You are not abandoned, left to be alone
We are here just, grab our hand
Listen to the sincerity in our voice’s tone
A devil, a demon has possessed the lives of those around
A snake with forked tongues slithers through your house
And laid to waste, that snake will die!
You story courage, it will arouse
You may not know me
But I still love you
Your life is precious
And don’t listen to those that say it’s not true
For those who have ears that hide a secret
Speak, speak again and utter what your eyes have seen
Don’t hold your breath or bite your lips
Don’t let the horror that is caused remain in vain
Those with strength protect the weaker
Don’t let them die without a battle
Though too small to hold thy sword
Lift your gavel, justify, punish hard, let the walls of court all rattle
Out of fear of a greater hell
They hold tight their lips, and hide away in their limbs
The cry and pray in silence
Because they are the Silent Victims
