What is their fault,
If all they want
is the same things
as any other child?
Learn and play
live without fear
food on their tables
and a roof to feel safe
Innocent souls
with apprehension and
sadness in their eyes
still, kind and sweet
with the purest of hearts
They don’t know selfishness
and will share what they have
even if only a piece of bread
they will cut it in half
They are happy
playing with a block
of wood on the ground
while your ungrateful kid
is crying for not having the
latest model of cell phone
While you are taking
pictures of your expensive
meals or clothes
they went to sleep
with their stomachs empty
This world is unfair, selfish
full of empty people.
No child deserves
to be the forgotten.
