Small Voice

How's the future
                                   if they can't read and write?
                                       Is there sunrise
                                             if they can't eat right?
                                                  What lies ahead
                                                        if they're tortured and dead
                                                             In the arms of the old
                                                                   that always misbehaves.

Arden these words are honest and true. Children are the future and we need to teach them right from wrong, good from bad, and values. Nice job Thanks for the congrats on my Hijinx poem.
