Everyday Routines That Go Unnoticed

And she was just three when she was dumped,
And he was just two when his mother jumped,
Her daddy touched her when she was ten,
He grew up hating girls, liking men.

Just four and her mom gave her pesticide,
Just three and his dad committed suicide,
And her stepdaddy raped her thrice,
To a man, his virginity was sacrificed.

Fifth birthday and she's sick to the bone,
Her mom out clubbing, she's home all alone.
Fourth birthday and he's going to die,
His mom's in the hall, having sex with a new guy.

Now she's six, but she'll never smile.
Now he's five, but he'll never talk.
And they both rest side by side,
At the cemetery just a bus ride
away.
And I'm going to pay them a visit today
