What About The Children? By Victor Tripp

What are we doing right now to save our teenage girls and boys

Out on city streets selling their bodies and being treated like

Throwaway toys. We need to raise protesting voices to our legislators

And really make some voting noise in an effort to save

The unprotected children every girl and boy. This is a daily problem in

Our country. We see with open eyes our children hurting and dying

And far to wise. We owe it to all of our children in Philadelphia

And around the world a clean and loving childhood every boy and girl

Human life people, should not be viewed as cheap

Far to many are dying away from home on the mean and ***** streets

And before you lay a tired head down to sleep tonight

In your warm and clean bed, what about the children?
