Why Don’t You Feel My Pain?

Assalamualaykum;

I’m currently working on project to raise awareness regarding the issue of how Muslim children are put through the foster/adoption system, and the effects this has …

Here’s a poem which sum’s it all up …

You look to me and question, why don’t I smile?
You ask why I look at you with such contempt?
After all who are you to me in the end?

I am just a child, like many others
A child born from the lusts of love
I am child small and insignificant to the world.

Yet I may be a child, but I am well versed
Well versed in the cruelty of the world
Well versed in the greed an heartlessness of man.

Abused under drunken rage
A sponge of harsh words and hurt.
I have no place I belong
I’m just small and insignificant.

Who is to hear my pleads and cries?
Who is to hear my sobs and tears?

So now before you ask why I no longer smile?
Or why I stare at you with such contempt?

Think …

This small child is a Muslim hurt and scared
This small child so insignificant who wonders;

If the ummah is one..
Then why don’t they feel my pain?
