3 Worlds In The Same

IP:

A 15 year old girl jus brought a life into hers
a baby boy made out of lust to live a life not deserved
wrapped up real tight to preserve, some warmth until he is found
as she kneels down, behind a dumpster and lays Her Son on the ground...

Katie jus had a birthday with 6 candles on her cake
daddy's gone out with his mistress while mom handles the heartbreak
when he comes home, mommy looks like she let vandals to her face
painted black & blue, mom & dad continue to gamble on Katie's sake...

A high school drop out, never worked, the thought of life enslaved Brent
sleepin on heat vents, between gents, restin his head on pavement
he often wished he could jus close his eyes, let go & fall away
there were no 3 square meals, the only time he ate was on holidays...

...Her Son's name was Bryan. Thats what the social worker named him
growin up in foster homes, its been 4 years and no one's claimed him
he looks at his guardians and sees a different skin tone
he's too young to understand his past, but knows this isn't home...

...Katie's mom is in the hospital, with several broken bones
2 cracked ribs, a dislocated jaw, fractured wrist, and a broken nose
a broken home, daddy's in custody, police ask Katie if she knows who did it
but she can't say and betray her father--she's barely in the double digits...

...5'11", 143 pounds, walks the streets of downtown Cleveland
passersby stare at him in shame, he knows he's living for no reason
his stomach growls, he prowls on Carnegie, goin through scraps from MickeyD's
feeding off other people's waste, but no taste more bitter than his reality...

...3rd day of second grade and Brent begins to understand
that his mother was not yet a woman & his father wasn't a man
it was show & tell, he jus brought himelf, and it was his turn for sharin
a classmate asks what his daddy does, and he says "i dont have no parents"
his eyes flood with salty tears, like the dam holding them back burst
little Brent was born a child in the crowded world of hurt.

...mourning sounds rumble the sanctuary, the congregation in black 'fits
while grandma grasps tight Katie's hand as she takes a glimpse in the casket
she thought her daddy loved her- but apparently not enough
he took away the most important woman in her life- to be taken away in handcuffs
through the eyes of this fresh teenager, truths are mere optical illusions
for Katie was born a child in the lost world of confusion.

...He wonders if his life is worth saving, staring at the raging waves waving
inviting him to join the silence, tries to relax, but instead lays tense
fighting the urge of self-destruction as he ponders on the rocks
who would miss him if he made up his mind to wander of the dock
there he sits- a troubled soul, the epidime of homeliness
David was bron a child in the depressing world of loneliness

please give me some comments, good or bad??
