Guiding Light - Make a Poem

Every night when I sleep, I hear some children awfully weep, The oval windows caught my ears, But the cries of children often disappears, The opaque panes blur my sight, Even the opening was closed fully tight, It looked a gruesome dark museum, Finding was only with moon light trapezium, The frightened children lay on the ground, When that annoying monolith came around, Such a vicious and vindictive brute, Who thrashed the little ones for injuries acute, I rang the authorities as a prelude, To make their sufferings ever conclude, The blooming buds full of grim, Saw the morning light so amazing, They were longing for a patronize, And their delighted face blew my eyes, With victorious pride and joy I stood, For being a guiding light for their fortunate childhood. Note:Child abduction or child theft has turned a serious threat nowadays. Lets raise our hands and voice against this gruesome act and try creating a glittering world for those tiny stars to shine.. . 19 July, 2016 Make a poem contest - Darkness vs Light

I like what your message is that you wrote at the bottom. Great effort with those words. It seems so difficult to me . I don't know if I can come up with anything. Best of luck to you in the contest.
