mummy got drunk

Her stomach quivers in hunger,
Another night without a meal,
Her third night in a row.

Screams shake the two-story house,
The little girl hides under her bed,
Her mummy’s drunk again.

A car pulls off the side of the road,
Her daddy leaves,
And doesn’t come back.

A hole is dug in a backyard,
Mummy’s drunk and pushes her in,
Burying her alive.

Sirens fill the starry night,
Her neighbor saw a horrific sight,
But help has come too late.

Her daddy stands at her shaded grave,
He knew her mummy beat her,
If only he had stayed.
