folon
In the past as i walked with my heart bruised
I smile while drop of blood make its way from my eyes.
in the past,words were only spoken to protect the elders
while blame was placed on the child.
in the past ,happiness was only for the elders
while child die of depression
in the past, rape victims were guilty sinners
while the guilty elder man points his finger at the child
in the past if only they knew the pain of the child
