Amidst the tragedies that surround him
Hovering around him and through him
He hides, stunned and shocked
Covering himself up with
Dirt and leaves like a hunted animal
His scent remains strong
Fear abounds
Can these predators who hunt and destroy
Find him?
Masked men determined to grab him
Shove him into a van, sending him
Away to no promised land
He was just working
Following all the rules
When a dragnet swept him up
Beating him senselessly
Tasering him
Taking away all of his rights
Only to dash themselves
To hell for carrying out the orders
That were given to them
Just doing their jobs
What child is this?
