A child stands in front of his house, screams come from within,
his mother cries out in pain and tries to leave,
the child afraid to open the door, fearful of what he may see,
a father in a drunken rage causes all to fear.

Violence on every side, tis the norm of the day,
children hiding if fear, old hands now at hiding themselves away,
a child forced to absorb violence and hate placed on him this day,
a child full of fear every day finally, in desperation tries to run away.

A child who knows not but daily violence, in every shape and form,
tis common place for those to hate, to hurt all they touch,
a loveless existence is laced heavily upon his back.
time for us to come to the rescue, we could be an aid to such.

Show the children of this rage there is a better way,
time for us to step to the front, time we all stand as one,
guide the peddler of this rage to seek a different light,
introduce them all to Christ, the Father's risen Son.

This is very good. I can't say I like it, because it's all too familiar, but you seem to have caught a glimpse into the never-ending cycle of domestic abuse.
