Children

Tony36

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. Smaller cities tend to take care of their own better than large urban areas but its really sad. Well done.

              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.
