Not too long ago,

Was a little boy,

 8 years old.

They believed he was gay is what we were told.

He is a soaring bird with broken wings.

They locked him away,

Starved him, and used him as an ashtray.

With only cat feces to eat.

He began to have this overwhelming sense of defeat.

He is a soaring bird with broken wings.

Where were his friends?

Did no one care?

Why did no one know?

Because CPS left it untold.

He was a soaring bird with broken wings.

This is the nation I was born in.

Why is child abuse not at an end?

Gabriel will never live to see the past 8 years.

For him going home was a fear.

How many kids have to suffer the same fate as him?

Will this just happen again and again?

Gabriel Fernandez was a bird who learned how to fly with his broken wings.

He was never gay.

But his family will never be the same.

He was a soaring bird with broken wings
