In times past...
We called them, Apples of our eyes;Bundles of Joy; God's Precious gifts
We called them, The Hope of out Motherland; ; the Rightful heirs of the futurel; Our pride, our Life, our Joy
Or are they really?
Look around you and tell us what you see? We see children everyday.
We see children in the streets; children who work and toil; abused, neglected and exploited.
We see children in the midst of ugly adult wars;children in the dumpsite;children in prostitution dens.
We see children in jails; in frat houses; in dim and dangerous corners.
We see children suffering, sick, drugged up and dying.
We see children displaced from their own homes and families.
We see children left behind by parents who have to work overseas.
We see children taken care of by television,
computers, and other such machines.
We see children taking care of themselves.
We see children everyday
Or do we really?
