Death is only.....

Death is only the beginning
It is the start of all creation
Death is only the end
It is mankinds damnation.

Death is only your friend
The only one you can count on
Death is only a bully
The only one you can't beat on

No matter how you look at it
Death is only death.

That child

Eight years old and already hate life
Abused by her adopted mother
Raped by her adopted brother
She is just a child and she cant be more.

The bruises on her back keeps her silent
She cries at night till the pain is numb
And when he is on top of her she drifts away
Away from body away from spirit.

Nine years old and it continues
To protect her blood brother from the same
She pretends nothing is wrong
For him, trying so hard to be strong.

She cared so much for her blood brother
She took his bruises upon her self
And he was only a year younger
And they both were just kids.
