Our Future Being.

Goldfinch60



Into the shop I went

To buy a couple of things

And there across the aisle

Were twins in a pushchair,

Their mum pushing them.

I waved and smiled at them,

They waved and smiled back,

Such a wonderful feeling

Comes to my heart,

The innocence of childhood

Is such a joy to me.

 

I often wonder how,

How people can hurt children.

I am a passive man

But get so upset,

Upset and annoyed

When children are attacked.

You just would not believe,

Not believe what I would do,

Do to them .

But anybody who hurts a child

Deserves the highest punishment

 

Why would people hurt children?

They are the future of our being

And will hopefully

Be the ones that repair,

The ones that repair our world.

    Those who do will suffer. Even Jesus said if we offend 'little ones' (could mean literal children, or people new in the faith) it's better if a millstone was tied round their neck, and they cast into the sea'. This from the not-always meek and mild One.
    Also - who could hurt animals?

          Hurt people hurt people. It isn't only just a contemporary proverb but demonstrated horrifically in our society. It's not an excuse but could show us to nip at the bud wherever and to whomever. Such a moving poem.

            So true CB, thank you.

            I believe there's an even bigger problem.
            Not suffering them to come unto him.

              They each have their own gods not necessarily the ones thrust upon us by organised religions 2781.

                It's a difficult one.
                By their fruits you shall know them.
