Street Kid

Mum an addict, Dad a drunk . Lost child starved of love, Living in hope . So gentle, So young, Yet a street wise boy. Its who you had to become. Child so hungry, Child so lost…. Another child, lost in our system, Without hope, Starved of love, Another child to be seen not heard, living in fear. Dads violent, knocking him about, Bruised again. Mum so numb, not even there, lifeless and stoned . Our generation, What has it become . Children of today . Lost In a world of human abuse . Be it needles, Be it alcohol, Be it physical. Be it sexual, Abuse it is, Cant you see?. So many children, Suffer in silence. No where to turn, No where to run. Tears of fear , Stealing to survive. Why is this so . Not enough can be done… Too many ignore . Our lost children of today. So lend a hand, Don’t ignore. Help the street kids, Who’re trying to survive . Give them hope, Somewhere to turn. Listen to their silent cries of pain . Help them out, When ever you can. Don’t ignore, Anymore .
