The Grey Walls by India Knipe, aged 9

The grey walls that enclose,
My life
Know only fear,
Hurt and strife.
Even idle dreams that
Run around our heads
Quickly vanish as we arise
From our stone cold beds.
They wash us down, they dress
Us well then send us off 
To die.
To the three stony doors
Where once a child did cry.
