He was only Four years old
but his short life was bad
ill treated by his Mother
and abused daily by his Step Dad.
They tortured him for fun
locked him in a Cubbyhole
these people were monsters
with no morals or soul.
They force fed him Salt
he went for days without a meal
all they wanted to do was hurt him
not caring how he must feel.
While they drank and had sex
poor Daniel was dying in pain
but when he asked for some love
they beat him again and again.
Social workers and teachers
must hold their heads in shame
but this will happen once more
as to Sadists it's all just a game.
So rest in peace little Daniel
now your away from your terrible plight
we never ever really knew you
but we all love you so please sleep tight.
