Unseen
Young children
Unclothed
Cold unfed
That go unnoticed by
Parents
Drugged
Never home
Living for themselves
Systems
Broken
Rushed
Ruined
Children with no role models
Give us no chance
For future
The child looks at me
I am just a child myself
I want to help them
How can I help you
I need to help you survive
I can’t give you much
U see me thoughtful
Future of the humankind
Sorcerer of mind
Give to those in need
Not to those with greediness
Give them help today
We continuously neglect the youth
Letting things happen to them
While parents shoot up
Or run the streets
Children are looking up
Looking up to god or others
Anyone who will pay attention
I try to fight their fights
I want to be a role model
Give them what they need
But as a child myself
Can I do much?
Of course I can
I am strong
These children are strong and will soon find this out
As long as we all contribute
It needs to be a group effort for that
is how we will flourish
and overcome the damned society we live in.
