Ignorance Is A Killer

Used, refused and
Chemically abused.
Self-mutilation
Mixed with
Intoxication.
The kid no one ever
Paid attention to,
Is forced into the faces
Of all but a few.
Hanging from his rooftop,
Swaying slightly in the breeze,
Covered in blood,
Eventually,
He was let down with ease.
No one ever asked him
How his day had been,
Or the simple things in life,
Then maybe they would have seen,
How all this boy needed
Was someone to be his friend,
Ignorance is a killer,
Who saw this boy to his end.
