Did you see the cold, then In the fall, abandoned, un cherished And did some masters find you And find you ashamed, naked Were you sold, cheap, shackled To a monster with toy cars, When you wanted to sleep in sketches Un abused, safer telling stories Where was your mother, daddy, Father Did they take the Gospel away As they left you in the classroom Your face near broken, and ridiculous Did they steal your treasures That one fine woman, the innocence Of the books, and the neighbor's daughter She was, both were so pretty, until I know you believed them The them who showed you emptiness And the dark, who made you alone And left you alone, with some masters And was it too late When she held your hand?
