The Hand of Evil. ( We Have All Week)
I was sitting at the table on my own today.
The other children went back to their families
As they always did for the school holidays.
I hear him getting closer, he sits by my side.
He asked me if I am OK with that evil smile.
I am already aware of his intentions and why,
You can clearly see it in his black hollow eyes.
He cannot hide his evil however hard he tries.
Here takes my hand let\'s go outside to play.
Please just leave me alone is all I have to say.
He slapped me on the face and said so cold
Young man, you need to do as you are told.
He grabbed me the man with the devil soul.
I grabbed his hand and bit it as hard as I could.
I am not doing that, and I never ever would.
He got angry and kicked me hard on the leg.
I could feel the real excitement in his head,
what he really wanted was me to go to bed.
Called him all the nasty names under the sun.
Pull my little self-up and ran as fast as I can.
I heard the words he said to me very clear
When I ran and very quickly disappeared.
Theres no rush we have all week on our own
Another fearful time in a Children’s Home.
