Standby
The world should be a beautiful place
The world should be living in peace
But it is not.
Not at the government's understanding but society.
Citizens of America has children
Can other countries not ?
Why do they not get the same - clothes, food, shelter, clean water
America has good health
Standby.
America had Katrina but got help quickly
Other counties have shortages like Katrina all the time
But where are the people ? The help ?
Standby.
America is a beautiful place
America is living in peace
But it is not.
Publicized harm of children and adolescents
They are shoved
They are verbally abused
They are hurt
They cry and scream and yell stop !
But what does America see ?
Other children and adolescents view and laugh
Poke fun
Standby.
I have spoke my mind now.
Will you as well standby ?
