The Pain of a Child
Today a girl was killed from abuse
 Today a boy died from starvation
 Tomorrow it will start over again 
 
 A kid hopeless 
 no one cares about a child 
 
 Today a girl was rapped and will become an outcast
 Today a boy rapped a girl and got away 
 Tomorrow the cycle will start over again
 
 Today someone will die in a car wreck by a drunk driver 
 who only walks away with a few minor cuts and bruises 
 Today someone will be discriminated against 
 Tomorrow it will happen again 
 
 Today a relationship will be crushed 
 Today a marriage will be destroyed by an affair 
 Tomorrow this cycle restarts 
 
 But why 
 Why cant we stop the cycle of
 rape 
 death 
 and divorce that tears family's
 apart   
 i will tell you why 
 because no one rewards the good
 The good people hide 
 while the bad comes out to play
 
 while the rich try to become richer 
 they only try to get rid of the bad people not bad acts 
 
 but when there is nothing to gain 
 they take advantage of 
 A Child 
 
 That is lonely
 that looks for a friend only to find an enemy 
 
 but today they say everything is going to change
 no it isn't noting will
 
 the rich will find new ways to bend the rules 
 the rapist finds new tactics
 and the abuser will find another child 
 
 While the child stands hopeless

ah...true. Children are disadvantaged in that area. I must differ with the idea that no one cares/nothing changes. Change is inevitable and for every depraved one, there is another who has reconsidered, who has remembered, and who has turned away from his/her past.
Even so, your poem has a lot of passion and it is clear to see that you are deeply affected by the effect of society's failures on varying groups of individuals.
