"Broken Toys"

I once held in the palm of my hand a globe of which I treasured
I looked through this globe and gazed intently at the people within wandering so aimlessly
Within this throng of tired people I discovered the aura of a small child concealed within a wooden box
How strange to find this thing of which no eyes claims to see
The tired souls of condemned saints have trodden upon his predicament many a time; but why have you not seen the thing which is nor behind or in the future
but here in front of me
The small whimper of a distressed child to whom no one dares to acknowledge?!
How can this be? Why cant we find an escape to this miserable act of abandonment
Oh People; have you no heart for the ones beaten to far more brutality
Such a sight to see my eyes are overflowing endlessly to see the pains of such a world who blinds their eyes from such atrocities

I liked the idea of looking through a globe to see this, like some sort of god looking down on all the suffering and wondering why no one cared enough to help those in need. This is so amazing! You're a great writer, keep it up! 5/5 :)

I love it. It's as if you felt the pain of those that were abused. It's as if you felt the screams and you cringed from the anger and hostility of the ones who corrupted there child. This poem is beautiful and I admire it.
