Jailbird

They locked her in a cell
They didn’t wish her well

No-one loved her,
or thought of her,

couldn’t see her
hear her

They didn’t listen …

vulnerable
traumatised
full of child
her eyes were wild

The system made it worse
They didn’t send a nurse

She rang the bell,but
they didn’t wish her well

They didn’t listen

and her baby died
