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.
