Can see the fainted face

On the wall, but I

Can assure you that

I do because my eyes

Are perceptive enough to

Recognize the inevitable in

You, and the rest of the unkind

selfish world unwilling to

Give in to the susceptibility stamped

In the heart of an innocent soul brought

To the world by irresponsible caregivers.

Can you? Can he or she? Can they?
