Do not water flowers with blood

Do not water flowers with blood.
 
Children of the world
What is your future?
Death, famine, and pain.
Instead of peace and education.
 
Children without parents,
Parents without children.
Men of goodwill are no longer enough.
To stop the end of future generations.
 
A world without children
It's like a garden without flowers.
No more joy and happiness.
Only tears and sadness.
 
This world is full of abused children, enslaved children,
Child soldiers and kidnapped children.
Grown men with evil minds allow this to happen.
Animals can be more human, even if they are wild.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Too true, we need an awakening.
