I Cry For The Children

bigwolf

What a world we are living in today

Where children are being tossed away

There is no place for you to sleep

And there is nothing for you to eat

I cry for the children

 

You awake to find everything gone

Abandoned and left all alone

Unwanted by today's society

Unanswered prayers for your pleas

I cry for the children

 

Treated wrongly, it should not be allowed

Will we ever understand why and how

How can we do this to such a precious resource

We must learn to change our course

I cry for the children

 

For parents that lose their children at any stage

Gone too soon no matter their age

My prayers go out for all of you

And tears will suerly fall, I cry with you

I cry for the children

 

So, everyone stand and help them out

Show the world what indifference is about

We need to change our world's view

Hopefully, no more lost children to make news

And I still cry for the children

    Children are our most valuable resource for they are the future of the world. Everybody should make sure that they are taken care of for without children there is no future. Lovely and caring poem.

      Thank you Soki, I was a child once. Being born as a baby, with much relief from my mother.

        So was I but I was a handful for my mother, I am so grateful . that I did not get one like me, you have no idea. I looked like an angel but my curiosity got me in trouble plenty of times.

        This poem really choked me up...in fact a few tears slipped out and I am a toughy. I think this is one of your best poems that I have read yet and some real quality work. You are an artist with your pen. have a beautiful day. diamond

        Thank you diamond. To touch someone so deeply is in itself it's own reward

        lost boys and golden girls... a line from one of my favorite meatloaf songs... this poem depicts the harsh reality of life and one of which we should all be ashamed. well written!
