Lucy existed behind false smiles
A child of our time
With diamonds in her eyes
Neglected by a family
That never listened to her
She was lost in a wicked world
That little girl with long brown hair
So it came as no surprise
That when Lucy died
It was found to be
She'd been deprived and starved
Of not just food
But also of her family's love.
