Turn the other way,
or you'll stop believing that all is well,
that it's right to forgive and forget
when little ones aren't seen by god,
and big ones do what they wished they wouldn't,
but do,
and still feel like the little ones that were raped,
how they learned to do what they do;
Turn the other way,
or you'll choose to love outside of the abstract,
to protect the little ones... from violation of innocence,
of peace,
of trust,
of faith,
of hope,
of love,
of choice,
and do more than
pay,
obey
and pray.
