Our Future

Some things our not what they seem.
As I think of the world and all it's promises.
My mind wonders why is all this violence around?
Why do people discriminate?
All this hate?
 
  What do we do?
Turn our back and say it's not so?
Our children of the world crying for a better tomorrow.
Help from all the sorrow and pain.
Like some cold scary storm brewing .
Those children can't help what there going through.
The question is what do we do?

 Children our the future of this world.
They will make decisions for tomorrow.
Our job is to take care of this today.
They should play, love ,and be cuddled.
Not in some orphanage huddled .

 Some on the streets and not having nothing to eat.
There stomachs so hungry like a whole eating through.
With there little minds wondering what there going to do?
No food to feed there little brains.
Nor get there tummys full.
How our we going expect a world full of promises and dreams?
If we treat our future of today like yesterday.
God will only make the diffrence in this world.
The day we see the light...
Thats is the day we will have sight.
To win this fight..
