A Little Girl Cries on the Floor

These nuns and priest of the cloth

abused little unwanted children

all around the world

in the catholic church

Nazareth House homes

They left the little girl

with no love in her heart

as they whipped her

until she falls

and if she didn't get up right away

more straps were added on

until she didn't full

So the little girl cries out in pain

please do not hurt me

I will be good

but the nuns never did stop

for it went on until the girl was 24.

All that the nuns knew

was abuse of the tongue

they knew how to use those bad words

which tore at the little girl's heart

with so much pain

knowing that followering the words of abuse

was the thrashings

and beatings across the bed

with three nuns who just didn't care

about the little girl crying

as she knelt on the floor

Then they would use the bench and the chair

bent over them naked

from the waist down

with the little girls dress

over her face

so she couldn't see the belt coming down

with such force

which the little girl

never forgot the abuse

of the Nazareth House nuns

behind the big brick walls

The little girl goes to hide in the church

as she things no one will hurt her

in the house of God

but when she was tired

a safety pin

was pricked in her bottom

for leaning on the bench behind

so the only time that she found was safe

was in church by herself

as she asked Jesus and Mary

to take her away

before the nuns abused her

once more while the little girl

sat crying on the floor

As all the children go to church

the little girl is pulled out of line

she is told to knell on the floor

to stay until a nun told her to move

so as she waits with her head on the floor

a nun comes with a stick in her hand

starts to whip the little girl across her back

while she wets herself and cries on the floor

She does not know what to do

as she stays there on the floor

the little girl can not move

and hopes the nun will not come back

to hit her some more

so why did the nun pull her out of line

and make her knell down

on the way to church

the hit the little girl

while she cries on the floor
