You Must Be Evil

Where have our cherished children gone
Our Mother's, Father's, and Brother's
Sister's too, and those we don't know
Their whereabouts remain undiscovered.

Did an evil being swoop down on them
Are they tormented in some old shack
Perhaps they're laying face down in a field
Only God knows if they'll ever come back.

We scream out your name to return safely home
While our hearts slowly whither and die
Unable to express with words how we hurt
Grief stricken we question God why.

We are the people who represent broken hearts
Caused by predators left out on our streets
Sex offenders amongst them deemed fit to set free
While politicians and judges soundly sleep.

On our knees we have wept, not knowing peace
Missing cases grow older and colder
Longing for loved ones to suddenly appear
Feel the comfort of their head on our shoulder.

What are the families and children to do
To ensure that their life's will be safe
When laws are in place to protect evil hands
Who glare at your child face to face.

The Justice System, Television, and Media too
I hold responsible for the cases of missing
So obvious to me that they lack common sense
But will hear life's shattering, if they listen.
