Children who have nothing are crying We drown it out with our preoccupations I do, too! Can you imagine the Republic of Congo And what children there, suffer? I have travelled to the 3rd world extensively and Have been to Nepal and Madagascar. The children suffer in a brutal way . . . that is hard to wrap your head around If you've never left the US, Canada or Europe, Australia or Japan. How can we have a conscience And let it go on? We pretend it's not happening But it is. Google "Jared Fogle". Let us amend the Constitution And create a safe haven for crime victims Let's have a two strikes and you're out Law for pedophiles who pray on children Under 12 years of age. For me, I can no longer look at it With a blind eye For helping the children Is what I was trained by Life experience, to do. I was one of those children once And not a single person cared. Let me be there for the current Child victims And let's try to heal that part of Our sometimes, twisted world. Let me do all that I can do! All I ask of you, is to think about children suffering around the world for just 10 seconds. ~Arianna
