Abandoned Children

We need orphanages. So abandoned children can be cared for, receive three hot meals a day, be helped with their homework. We need orphanages to be Quiet places where children can think. Away from loud angry music And loud angry adults who abandon them in spirit, and attitude way before they are physically abandoned, We need orphanages Where adults can help children Learn how to be children. We need orphanages Where children don't have to take care of their parents. Where children don't have to fix their own supper. Where children don't have to worry about being evicted, where children don't squat in unheated abandoned buildings. We need orphanages Where children aren't threatened if they tell the truth. We need orphanages for the abandoned children, so they can safely grow up. We need orphanages. Written June 13, 2018 Abandon Contest Sponsored by: Brenda Chiri
