The Children

People everywhere bring me your ear, I have something to say that you need to hear bad things are happening to our children today, creatures of darkness are taking them away Wake up people, open your eyes they are lurking about and telling them lies these are our little treasures, given from God above all they ask for is our unconditional love Yet we let them in these creatures of the night robbing us blind in plain sight of our children, our loves, our prize possesions you'd think by now we would've learned our lesson They torture them, kill them, and lock them away they're hoping someone will come for them someday yet you stand idily by and watch them creep while these thieves, these killers walk the street These creatures of darkness, some are close to you too your sisters, your brothers, or maybe even you when it comes to our children, no one is excluded aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, all are included Don't leave your children in the hands of a stranger because leaving them in the hands of someone you think you know, maybe putting them in danger So take time people, investigate There are creatures out there who are filled with hate They'll take your babies and make them cry then turn right around and tell you a lie They'll say your child is just like their own and in the very same breath wish they were gone So love your children, and always protect and you'll be rewarded with their love and respect. There are too many children being put in harms way, because of carelessness, I just want to draw some attention to this huge problem.

This is a very powerful poem and so true. I do not leave my kids with anyone I'm a very concerned parent and I'm a parent who gets violent if someone hurts my kids. I am always looking at neighbors and some family. I trust NO ONE with my kids, its the way you have to be, and you have to be a parent and be involved with your kids otherwise they can get hurt. This really is a great write, sad but a warning........Aleera

Words that need to be heard, Betty! Your writing is excellent, but your message is very important. I would like to thank you for bringing attention to this shameful problem. There is no excuse for preying on innocent children. Thank you!
