Look Around – Written August 2005 (Aged 30)

Look Around

this is what i found
when i looked around
a girl who looked,
far too young, even to be out on her own
but her belly looked fully grown
i saw her laugh,
to the people she was with
ah, stolen little childhoods
you know, what i would not give
for a world,
where children were just allowed to live
this is what i found
when i looked around
