She closes her eyes, begins to cry,
asking, ‘Why?’, she no longer dreams to try.
She no longer screams out of fear,
she no longer speaks, mother dear.
Oh, why? She’s lost in the loneliness, the darkness of tears.
They abuse them, and torment them, rape them and leave them for dead.
Oh, why? Where is our courage? That madness that shouts-no more, no more, NO MORE!
