Children living in the streets
Under bridges
In cardboard boxes
Or in shacks
Children neglected
Children hurting
Children hungry
Children in pain
Why does the world just pass by
Without even turning an eye
To see these little ones in need
These little ones represent
Our future
Our hope
Yet nobody seems to care
All they see is
Dirt
Grime
Messy
To these people
These children represent nothing
Why has the world gone so cold
Why is it so heartless
That children must suffer
Children should be allowed to run and play
Not worrying about their next meal
Children should be with friends
Not alone holding signs
Children should have a caring family
Not people who just want to play nasty games
Raise your voice
For these little ones
Sound the call
Let the children know that someone cares
Let the children know They have a friend

Good write T.

Good write. Smaller cities tend to take care of their own better than large urban areas but its really sad. Well done.
Thank you
Great write Tony, I'll always get involved.
Thank you
I just love children but in a sad reflection of out times I cant even smile let alone speak to a child without being regarded as being some sort of undesirable - oh if only we could do more for our children - its a sad sad world.
Thank you. I understand I get the same BS from parents myself. Including some I go to church with
its a hard luck life in this world we live it we must speak out when we can! good message T
Thank you
Very well said, children are worthy of all our love and protection.
