Better Now, Than Later

The simple truth is Life’s unfair Too many children cry There, in the dark Releasing tears From swollen, bloodshot eyes One is too many But, there’s so much more Enduring hunger and abuse Let’s help the children Help them fast Before they make the news

Michael - I'm in bro - This is a wonderful poem penned by a wonderful heart - It is very sad yet so true - One thing I think everyone should do is check local law enforcement (never would have dreamed the day would come that I said that) and get a map of sex offenders and their address with-in a two mile radius of their home - by law this info must be given and you would be shocked by what you find out, I was and I'm hard to shock - Little old man from church etc. God Bless, MJ
