The Children
My daughter wrote this… Not bad hey!!
The Children
A poem by Maddie Garvin
The skeletal children wait for help
Their eyes are pleading but unhopeful
they are scared to drink but they have no choice
they ask themselves will i be alive in the morning?
Dirty and Deficient, they worry about whether they can stop their hunger
We kids worry about whether we have the latest piece of technology.
The unclean children, though hurting, live like every day is a blessing
We privileged kids live like everyday is a hassle
The poor kids don’t deserve it, but neither do us rich ones.
We clean kids are optimistic for our future
those deprived kids are optimistic for change
Most of the desperate children we will never meet
Some of us never want to get to close
They need us
We can help them!
Great poem
