Fight

In the nightOut of sight Children forced to fightOut of spiteBrought to lightFeel their plightIgnore the siteWith all their mightClutching their tiny bodies tightIs this right?Their obvious plightStill ignored despiteSeen like some parasiteNever learning to read or writeNot to brightJust a slightFind delightGet a knightMade to act politeSit uprightTo feed some else's appetiteMakes the media igniteRest get the biteForced into plightConstantly feeling frightMight end up dead overnightNothing being done to fix this blightWitnesses having to repeatedly recitePolice reports needing a rewriteNot admitting to oversightAlibis all watertight More people inciteJury decides to expediteNo one's heart is contriteInstantly able to reuniteAnother brawl to exciteThe black and white
