Balloon Heads

Balloon heads float amongst the breeze Filled with nothing, lack of education- they bawl Inequality from different ethnicities across the seas Seventy-two million children unschooled- please Poverty stricken- we must try to help them all Balloon heads float amongst the breeze Over seven-hundred and fifty million adults are illiterate- geez Girls least likely to receive education- damn that wall Inequality from different ethnicities across the seas undeveloped brains- be'eth the sizes of peas Deprived from knowledge their brains will remain small Balloon heads float amongst the breeze The rights to educate we must not seize If we doth not rise- they will fall Inequality from different ethnicities across the seas I pray for them- down on my knees Let the world hear my beckon call Balloon heads float amongst the breeze Inequality from different ethnicities across the seas A Major World Problem Poetry Contest Sponsor: L Milton Hankins 4/27/2021
