It's the Children Who Suffer

It's the children who suffer in loneliness, who feel the desolation in all its ugliness and bitterness; at such tender age,pain could definetly be an obstacle to the realization of those dreams promising to be so remarkable by leaving a mark so indelible... Those children who are left to unpleasant decisions, devastated by violence and the fear of their choices... will not refuse a stranger's kindness; and they,once afraid of strangers, become the profiteers and the abusers... doing the oppositive of what they were taught! It's the children who suffer in loneliness, who demoralize themselves when alternatives are the basic to their uncertain survival... It's the children who laugh even in tragic moments, to reject their unworthiness with clues they can't unravel! They walk in dark alleys, sleep in dark corners... dreaming of having a home: like the one they had before; don't ask for their names... they've lost their identity, because they'd rather forget... than bitterly regret! It's the children who suffer in loneliness, who pay dearly for someone's mistakes; and they sleep by day and wander by night: to find that affection that was denied them, feeling no ebarassment or shame!
