There in the gutter she sat disheveled
bruised a cut on her forehead
a passing motorist witnessed the attack
as two thugs punched the girl
dragging her onto the sodden roadway
in a callous and brutal display!
Being disturbed by the concerned motorist
grabbed her shoulder bag
ran off laughing without any care or thought
calling the police went to her aid
soon police and ambulance crew on scene
to assist the petrified teen!
Another everyday violent public street scene
violence erupting with no warning
paramedics attended the innocent victim
knowing it could have been worse
the policewoman spoke kindly giving support
seeking clues for them to be caught!
A crowd grew cameras recorded the moment
her mum arrived to comfort her
but as she had sustained series facial injuries
was transported to hospital
her blood flowed washed into the storm drain
by the now torrential rain!
Soon there was no indication of the ordeal
just another statistic and person to heal!
