Too Little, Too Late......

That girl you called a whore yesterday,
she's been getting raped by her father
for the last 3 years.
That boy you watch and laugh at
as he gets picked on and beat
by bullies,
he gets beaten at home as well
That man everyone points and laughs at,
his deformity comes from a disease he caught
while fighting for our country in Iran
That girl that is made fun of for her clothes,
she's a prostitute and works all night
to just barely support her baby brother and herself.
That 9 year old girl that everyone calls fat,
she's entering the early stages of an eating disorder,
and she will later die, to her family's dismay
That boy that talks funny,
he was in a fire, that killed his parents, and
and burned his lungs
as well as his vocal chords.
That boy in the hallway that everbody points and snickers
at is transgender, because his parents verbally abused him
when he was a girl.
Those gravestones that you're walking over now,
are the remains of the children that no one
gave a damn about...until it was too late.
