We Need Orphanages
We need orphanages
With glass walls,
So adults can
Keep an
Eye,
A mind, and
An ear on each other.
We need orphanages
So children can
Be taken care of,
Get three meals a day,
Feel appreciated, or
At least
Respected.
We need orphanages,
Where adults can help
Children relax, and
Be children, not
Having to be
The adult any more.
We need orphanages
Where children do
Not have to make
Up lies for parents,
Take care of parents,
Or hide from parents.
We need orphanages.
