Children At Risk

Children At Risk Every time I hear a child has been neglected and vastly un protected. Parents and caretakers have the most important job of the world, To raise and mold a boy or girl. It breaks my heart. We are tearing the children apart. We have failed them with our stupidity, sicknesses, Passiveness and crimes These things have been done since the beginning of time We are tearing the children apart With our greed Sickly and unnatural need With our cruelty and abuse Leading to deadly misuse Of our positions And screwed up missions We’ve taken children from the Aborigines Some of them biracial Many progenies of Australia’s elite Moved them to an island because it was discreet It was out of sight out of mind. People were being blind. We’ve put children in England in orphanages Because status quo said parents were causing damages We’ve taken Indian children from reservations To blend them into civilization. We’ve enslaved Black children on plantations Reasoning it is good for the nations All this done by those in status quo Because of reasoning we said so. For the children facing starvation In India, Africa, Somilia, Ethiopia and other nations Who have bombs But no food and care for there little ones There is the Tuskegee experiment, hole in the head Where nothing was said Indoctrination of the wrong kind Interfering with a child’s mind.
