#TheVoiceOfTheVoiceless
They fight to survive, wondering if they are even still alive,
Nothing given but watch as everything is taken,
A child fighting to survive; watch as his father dies,
Then bites his lips and says goodbye.
When did the world ever become so cold?
Every second a child cries; politicians continues to spread their lies,
Another child tires to endure; tries to understand why she walked out that door,
In just another minute a child dies; listen, can't you hear their cries?
They can't afford to sleep; their demons plague their thoughts,
Simplifying every battle they ever fought,
Don't you see those selling scraps?
Then why do we never offer them snacks?
He's an orphan with a gun strapped to his back,
Fighting for the persons who will never appreciate that fact,
His drug addict mom; yes she left him to die in a washing pan,
We celebrate as we eat and gain weight,
Oh congrats you ignorant fool!
Another hour and their bodies continue to pile like a tower,
He's dying and she's crying; no one's listening,
It's just another day where an innocent child has to pay.
