The cry of a child


The cry of a hungry child. Hungry for love Starves for the mothers love And thirsts for the fathers protection. Parents are there but their duties are not. They don't play their role They don't perform their parts The cry of a child Anger rules Cause the child knows no love Bitter the child grows Cause sweetness was never present Peace was always absent And no hope of the child being decent Cause Love is distant. Internally the child cries Emotionally the child bleeds. Physically it traumandous. A child. Having internal bruise Suffers abuse Let's stand and fight this brutality Prevent this child mortality And experience extreme vitality A HAPPY CHILD A HAPPY NATION
