How are We to Save the Children?
How are we to save the children?
unloved, crying,
denied human kindness, tender touch,
no way to defend against
the injustice,
the unlucky
timing and place of their birth,
into homes where abuse, anger,
foul language, foul everything becomes
all they know,
no choice does a child have
about family,
strange really,
how something so precious
can be tossed into such dismay,
How are we to save the children?
it’s simple but not so simple
as many things are,
desperation creates anger,
anger brings abuse,
abuse brings dismay,
but we are all accountable,
If we are to save ourselves
we must first save the weakest among us,
Save the children
and we will all be saved.
